Addiction & Recovery Conversations with Brett Lovins
Sobriety While Continuing to Smoke Marijuana - Three Stories - Jeremy, Bob and Rob
Being around sober circles has made my life so much richer as opposed to going it alone in my new life as a sober man. I've seen and heard the question/story many times: "well what about weed?" Here are three men that I admire who will share their stories on being alcohol and elicit drug free, while continuing to use marijuana... and then quitting too. Thank you to my friends Rob Solomon, Bob Hickman and Jeremy Harrell for sharing their stories.
If you or a loved one has more questions about substance use disorder or general curiosity about sobriety, I can recommend Shatterproof.org without reservation.
