Download SHHRP 073(Note: Episode 72 was a YouTube only episode, go check it out! Link below!)Tonight!We discuss the mysterious story of the death of Elisa Lam in LA. We dig into our paranormal roots and spend the first bit of the show discussing the internet phenomenon that is Elisa Lam.Next, we discuss the concept and controversy that is Porn Addiction. Is it real? Should we care? Have we changed as a society, a race, a culture? Or are we just the same as we've always been. Perverted and sex obsessed, especially at a ripe young age. Internet porn isn't just for the boys anymore. More and more woman are copping to their enjoyment of the medium as a means of safe, fun and personal sexual experiences. I don't see nothing wrong, with a little pause and toss.Much love,Your Host.Would you like to donate to The Sober Happy Hour?

Episode 069I don't particularly care for Strip Clubs. I've never visited a prostitute. But I have always had respect for the men and women who choose that line of work. Why? Because it takes a lot of balls to get up and dance naked for money, or charge top dollar for the privilege of my sexual company. Let's be honest, if I could make 70 to 100 thousand dollars a year shaking my naughty bits, or pouring the bisquick, I probably would. I'm lazy.But there's a sad reality to sex work in this world, especially in the US and we talk about that on this episode of SHHRP.-Your HostWould you like to donate to The Sober Happy Hour?

Episode 068This one will turn some heads!We discuss the recent events surrounding our wonderful Republican Presidential Candidate and the allegations that he has sexually assaulted women over the years. It would be hard to believe, if the man himself wasn't on tape explaining how his favorite part of being a "star" is being able to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, to whomever he wants. Specifically, he likes to meet women and "grab them by the pussy".Stay classy, America.-SHHRP CrewWould you like to donate to The Sober Happy Hour?

SHHRP Episode 062!On this episode:We talk about this crazy idea that GHB could be an alternative treatment for alcohol addiction. We find this to be rather crazy, but maybe there's something to it. We also take a few minutes to talk about the recent events in Dallas, Lousiana and other places, where cops are killing unarmed black men, and now people are shooting cops. This has got to stop. And by the way, you CAN be pro cop and pro equal rights at the same time. Just saying.Enjoy!SHHRP Cast

Episode 061On this episode we discuss staying true to yourself. Your sobriety, your life is yours. You don't HAVE to listen to what they tell you, no matter who 'they' might be.Enjoy,SHHRP Crew

Download Episode 060!Super excited to post this episode! We spent the entire show with Dr. Chris, talking about addiction, abuse and treatment of patients in the prison system.Dr. Chris works in a prison and is woefully understaffed for the amount of work and the number of inmates she and her peers are charged with helping. The prison she works in takes a treatment approach to prisoners with drug abuse problems, which is extremely common, and tries to treat the real reasons why this patience are abusing drugs in the first place.We get a Doctors view of addiction in the US prison system, and maybe, what we can do to make it better.The views, opinions and positions expressed by our guests are not necessarily shared by the staff and hosts of The Sober Happy Hour | Radio Podcast!Would you like to donate to The Sober Happy Hour?

SHHRP 057We know we've talked about the insane prescription drug crisis in the US before. Lot's of times before. But now that it has been confirmed that Prince (and a long list of other celebrities) died from drugs he was taking WITH a prescription, why isn't anybody talking about it?!? Celebrity culture in this country is ridiculous, you'd think this would spark outrage in the streets. But alas, it doesn't, it hasn't and it won't. Doesn't mean the SHHRP crew won't talk about it. So give a listen, get upset, start a dialogue with someone. It has to start somewhere.-SHHRP CrewWould you like to donate to The Sober Happy Hour?

SHHRP 057Tonight,We didn't know we'd be talking about our love lives, but that's what we spent a lot of the show discussing. It was an interesting look at sobriety, love, relationships and sex. They say, "don't get involved with anyone for at least a year after getting sober." I think that's good advise, Chaz thinks must longer, if ever.Give a listen, tell us what you think!-Your HostSHHRPWould you like to donate to The Sober Happy Hour?

Download Episode 056When you hear about an opioid addict deciding to quit using, it's easy to expect them to get off the drugs and quit cold turkey. The problem is, cold turkey leads to relapse with opioid addicts almost every time. They have the best intentions and find themselves back on the drugs, in one form or another, sometimes quickly, sometimes later, but almost always. With a long-term slow weaning treatment with a less dangerous, or receptor blocking medication, they can find long term if not permanent sobriety. Normies don't seem to understand the difference between a heroin user switching from heroin to pills and a heroin user switching from heroin to Suboxone, a drug that doesn't get you high, doesn't build tolerances and can literally prevent the user from using full blown opioids while they are taking it. Ignorant or arrogant 'recovery' people will also tell you that these drugs, Methadone and Suboxone are just as bad as the original addiction its self. I say bullshit! I have known many people who have gotten their lives back thanks to Suboxone. The only reason I would agree that Suboxone is "this generation's Methadone" is due to its popularity in use by addicts trying to kick a opioid addiction.  But the two are not the same, they are incredibly different.

Download Episode 054You ever hear a story about something and it just makes your blood boil? Well that's what happened to me before this episode of SHHRP. I decided to rant about it for a while at the top of the show.  Now I've decided to rant about it further here, for all to see.Paul LePage may well be the worlds biggest dick. That would be fine, if he weren't the Governor of the great state of Maine.His role as executive of a US state comes with a responsibility, not just to the constitution of said state, but to the people, the human beings who call Maine home. Contrary to what LePage may believe, some of those citizens are addicts. Gov. LePage believes that an addict's life is meaningless. That it should be sped up so that the inevitable death-by-overdose can come more quickly and quietly, as to not bother those who arrogantly blind themselves to the reality of American life. Addiction, specifically to Heroin, is a very real, very big problem in the United States today.If someone you knew was dying of a Heroin overdose and you had the chance to save their life, would you just let them die?That is why his veto explanation, which discards the lives of the addicted, is beyond the now standard "Shit LePage says" that we have grown used to. Here is why he vetoed the bi-partisan, overwhelmingly popular Narcan Bill:“Naloxone (Narcan) does not truly save lives; it merely extends them until the next overdose -- Creating a situation where an addict has a heroin needle in one hand and a shot of naloxone in the other produces a sense of normalcy and security around heroin use that serves only to perpetuate the cycle of addiction.”Paul LePage, you sir, are a heartless, ignorant buffoon.He goes on to state that the opioid addiction problems facing Maine are the result of "drug traffickers from other states bringing heroin over the border.  Also nonsense.  The heroin problem we are facing in the US, is the result of the incredibly easy access to prescription opioid pain medication and the lower street cost of heroin versus the pharmaceuticals.Making Narcan available to the loved ones of the opioid addicted or to the addicted individual themselves WILL save lives. Similar legislation exists in many other states. My personal opinion about Naloxone saving the life of an addict in overdose is simple; the terror one experiences during and after an overdose can, and often does, change a person. It can be the catalyst to recovery. Though the fear of death may not deter many drug users, the shock of nearly dying can and does.There is a much bigger conversation to be had here. Treatment vs incarceration, the stigma of drug addiction, the accessibility of care.  All things politicians like LePage ignore. We don't turn our backs on the sick and dying of Cancer, Heart Disease, Alzheimers or Diabetes. We treat them, and yet, millions of them still die every year. In Gov. LePage's twisted universe, a heroin addict doesn't even deserve a shot.To veto this bill for the reasons LePage has given is like standing by to watch a child drown while you've got a ring buoy in your hand. Why? Because, how many times did I tell that kid, "don't run by the pool?"-Your SHHRP Host

We tried to spread the time between uploading podcasts in hopes you wouldn't realize, but I knew our listeners were smarter than that.The guys spend the episode catching up with each other, a few weeks off and there's a lot you've missed! We also get to hear a scary, albeit funny, story about Chaz forgetting that he hadn't forgotten to take his medication.
