Absolutely Samantha. I find this really interesting, you know everyone’s take on sobriety is unique. However, I do believe that if one is to consider re introduction of substances, it needs to be after significant work is done. Some will never get there. It’s very hard for most to drink in moderation and it needs to be after a significant amount of time on my opinion. But hey: if it works for her great. Though I’m doubtful of this working for anyone initially. California sober in my opinion works for those without addiction issues! And potentially moderation can be introduced later for an addict. Like you say abstinence is impossible for many people forever. And I agree we have to look at new models of sobriety.
