Mike McDaniel Drinking Problem

[Sojourner]

So that’s why he was driving past Elbo Room after the beat down of our boys…

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that he's California sober.

Reminds me a Dennis Leary routine from years ago: "We didn't have rehab back in the 70s. Back in the 70s rehab meant you quit doing coke but you kept smoking pot and drinking for a couple more months. Yeah give me a case of Budweiser and an ounce, I gotta slow down"

I think he’s a cool, quirky dude. No hate. Great example of the Peter Principle though…

 

Had to look that up. Id heard of it but didnt recall what it was by name. If were stuck with mcd next year, id very much like to see him in as OC

I like McDaniels. One of the few guys in the NFL, players or coaches, that I can legitimately beat up in a fight. No hate. 

Sucka, please.

I thought Cali sober was mushrooms?

Yeah, no booze but ganja is OK.

Technically it's supposed to be using cannabis while avoiding all addictive substances (alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, etc) but I think there's also a lite version.

 

 

Celibama?

My names are Jim and Bob and it's been 120 days since I made out with any of my cousins!

Reverse cowgirl is illegal there because you never turn your back on family.

I know your stance on it, so not directed at you...  but a bunch of people I knew from meetings back when I was getting my s*** together (coming up on 6 years) used “California sober” as a dig, mostly the old-school crowd.

 

I get why. There’s some risk, especially for people who were totally clean for years and then decide to try green again. That can wake the compulsive stuff back up. But that group is very small.

 

For everyone else-the people who’d never even try getting clean unless they had some kind of release valve, it can really help make transition easier.

 

Same idea as a cheat meal keeping you from bailing on a diet fully and binging for a month lol

 

I’m basically fall into 2nd group.

 

Even before id ever tried quitting seriously I'd figured out if i needed a quiet night, or to not blow my paycheck, If i rolled one up when it started getting dark, it crushed any drive I had to start drinking… there'd even be nights where i tried to change my mind and try to binge drink, and couldn't even get the drinks flowing on purpose.

 

drinking is what fired up my drive to end up in the powder too

 

A comic kinda summed up my experience with drinking and cocaine perfectly with:

“Drinking without smoking is like trying to poop without peeing.”

He just sounds wasted more often than not, to me.

He’s “California sober” as they call it.  No booze but heavy doses of whatever else is still considered “sober” (in this case I think it’s ketamine)

Wonder if he ever gets canned and ends up here as OC…

I know a couple people that have used the green to combat heroin and oxy addictions and have done so successfully.

That's a route I'll never condemn.

For me, I sometimes go months without a beer or a cocktail but as soon as I knock a couple back I am instantly looking to burn one as a force multiplier. 

And the insane amount of booze you can consume while blowing rails is terrifying enough that it made me see the light and knock that shlt off.

California Sober is very popular among the pescatarian crowd. 

 

 

And they are lovers of Hostess Ho Hos as well.
