What is there left to do when every possible distraction from yourself has been stripped away? After an extended hiatus, Scott and Derek are back to discuss, in great detail, about how they’re managing being stuck at home just like everyone else. How sobriety set us up to cope with a pandemic, the dark side of socially isolated drinking, the long term effects of drinking to cope, why we need to start seeing alcohol abuse as a public health crisis, and how this situation has made everyone a little more empathetic and vulnerable.Recommendations:The After PartyVanSoberThe Hangover Free Club: Free Virtual Sober GatheringsThe Phoenix Virtual ProgrammingDuneBojack HorsemanNote: nothing in this podcast is intended to be a replacement for medical or professional advice.
