Vacation didn’t just give me a break—it gave me a reset.
In this episode of Black Sheep Addictz, I talk about what it looked like to step away from alcohol, navigate social settings, and choose cannabis and CBD as a harm-reduction tool instead of falling back into old patterns.
From Calgary to Vancouver to family BBQs, I noticed something powerful… I’m not who I used to be anymore. And I don’t want to be.

In this episode the host reflects on using THC and CBD as intentional medical tools for emotional regulation and asks whether earlier access
This episode of Black Sheep Addictz gets into the complicated reality of Alcohol Use Disorder, recovery, accountability, and why one recover
Sometimes healing means realizing the people you blamed were also trying their best while fighting battles you couldn’t see.
Black Sheep Addictz Season 5 Episode 8 — “I Blame My Mom” is about family history, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and trying to understand where it all started.
This one is personal.
At a rock concert, I found myself getting irritated watching a young guy get progressively drunk beside me… and then it hit me.
For years, that WAS me.
The strangest part about changing your relationship with alcohol is realizing the things you once normalized suddenly become hard to watch from the outside.

I wasn’t quiet because I had nothing to say—
my mind was just too loud.
Alcohol slowed it down… until it didn’t.
Now I’m looking at mental health, medication, and cannabis differently—
not as answers, but as tools.
Still learning. Still healing. Still questioning everything.

Sometimes the things that feel the most “normal”…
are the things doing the most damage.
For a long time, I lived on autopilot—
telling myself I was fine,
telling myself it was normal,
telling myself I was still functioning.
But normal doesn’t always mean healthy.
In this episode, I talk about the routines we don’t question,
the habits we justify,
and what happens when you finally step outside of them
and see things clearly.
Because the hardest part isn’t always changing…
It’s realizing something needed to change in the first place.

Alcohol is normalized.
It’s profitable.
But is it really safe?
This episode breaks down the truth behind what we’ve been taught to accept—and what we’ve been told to question.

This one is different.
No more breakdowns.
No more theories.
Just the truth.
What it actually looked like to be stuck in the cycle…
and what it took to start breaking it.
Not perfectly.
Not all at once.
But enough to change everything.
🎙️ Episode 10 (Final): Breaking the Cycle
You didn’t replace the habit…
you just avoided it.
So the moment life gets uncomfortable—
it comes right back.
That’s not failure.
That’s a missing piece.
Real change isn’t what you remove…
it’s what you build instead.

Episode 4: The Science of Cravings
Why do cravings feel so overwhelming… and why do they keep coming back?
In this episode of the Black Sheep Addictz: Cannabis Harm Reduction Series, we break down what’s actually happening in your brain when a craving hits — from dopamine loops to stress responses and learned habits.
Cravings aren’t just about willpower.
They’re patterns.
And most people don’t realize this:
They rise, peak, and pass… but acting on them is what keeps the cycle going.
We also explore how harm reduction — including cannabis for some — may interrupt that cycle and create space for change.
Because once you understand cravings, you stop feeling controlled by them.

The Hallway Moment No One Talks About
It wasn’t a big moment.
No one yelled. No one made a scene.
It was just a hallway.
A group of parents stood off to one side, drinks in hand, laughing a little louder than usual after a long night. Their kids were nearby—playing, watching, absorbing everything like kids do.
Across the hall, one person sat quietly with a cannabis drink. Calm. Relaxed. Present.
And that’s when it happened.
A look.
A whisper.
A judgment.
“Is he really drinking that around the kids?”
What Kids Actually See
Here’s the part that sticks with me.
The concern wasn’t about the volume of alcohol.
Not about staying up half the night.
Not about being visibly intoxicated in front of their children.
It was about the other thing.
The unfamiliar thing.
The stigmatized thing.
The thing we’ve been taught to question.
But kids don’t see stigma.
They see behavior.
They see who gets louder as the night goes on.
Who starts repeating themselves.
Who checks out.
Who stops paying attention.
And they also see who stays grounded.
Who stays present.
Who is still there.
The Morning After Tells the Truth
Fast forward to the next morning.
Same people. Same kids.
Four adults sit around a breakfast table, wincing at the light, nursing coffee, blaming it on “just being tired.” The energy is low. Conversations are short. Everyone is just trying to push through.
And then there’s the other side.
Someone awake. Smiling. Making breakfast.
Engaged. Talking. Showing up.
No shame. No struggle to get through the moment. Just… present.
The Double Standard We Don’t Question
We’ve normalized one thing so deeply that we barely notice it anymore.
Alcohol is part of everything:
Celebrations
Stress relief
Socializing
Parenting culture
It’s joked about. Encouraged. Even expected.
But cannabis?
That’s where people pause.
That’s where concern shows up.
That’s where judgment lives.
Even when the outcomes tell a different story.
This Isn’t About “Good” vs “Bad”
Let’s be clear—this isn’t about saying one thing is perfect and the other is terrible.
It’s about honesty.
It’s about asking why one behavior is accepted without question… while another is dismissed without consideration.
It’s about recognizing that for some people, cannabis can be part of a harm reduction approach—a way to step away from something that was causing more damage.
Not everyone’s path looks the same.
Not everyone’s recovery looks like complete abstinence.
And that’s okay.
What Really Matters
At the end of the day, kids don’t grow up remembering what was in your glass.
They remember:
If you were present
If you were patient
If you showed up
They remember how you made them feel.
A Different Conversation
Maybe it’s time we shift the conversation.
From: “What are they using?”
To: “How are they showing up?”
Because sometimes the person being judged in the hallway…
is the one who changed their life the most.
