In recent years, a new trend called “Cali Sober” has gained popularity, particularly among millennials and Gen Z. Cali Sober, short for “California Sober,” refers to a lifestyle where individuals abstain from hard drugs and alcohol. They still indulge in cannabis use.
As I enter my third year of daily meditation practice, and the second year of the ReturnOnSobriety blog, I wanted to share some of my favorite meditation videos and mantra music.
Listening to meditation videos and pre-recorded practices were key to the formation of my meditation foundation. And you may find it also works well for you.
I mean, I have plenty of whiskey, vodka, tequila, gin, and other fine spirit on hand. Bottles and bottles and bottles of it. And there’s almost always an open bottle of Pinot Noir or Cabernet on the kitchen counter. But these lures hold no temptation for me.
…anyway, I had to address, solve, or contend with one hairy problem after another. It was just one of THOSE Mondays. By mid afternoon, all I wanted was a drink. The fact that I was planning to watch Monday Night Football allowed Drinkie to take a little crack in the door and blow it wide open.
