Sober Podcast 182 - Magic Potion (Part 1)

There is no magic potion. you can spend $100 on vitamins if you like. You can read one book and then be disappointed that it doesn’t solve all of your problems.

To be sober, we need to apply an attitude of ‘layers of support’ … adding in things, to find the right combination that works. And to learn to resist the “this program solves all problems,” and to do more than one thing at a time, because perhaps it’s the overlapping combination of things that works.

I talk about kitchen tools, getting pregnant, and how much we love to buy ‘one-stop’ solutions.

This live broadcast was running really long, so I’ve split the audio into two parts.

HOMEWORK: do you have a “$100 vitamin” story you’d like to share? tell me about a time when you bought something hoping it’d fix a problem that wasn’t even really overlapping or possible to solve … (like trying to be sober by painting the bedroom).
