Cashin' in my chips for forgiveness
Trading in my shame for perspective
Tired of being known for my sickness
It didn't work, I'm tryin' something different,
Healing got me lookin' for freedom
Happiness it used to be fleeting
History was always repeating
Not anymore

I'm California sober
It doesn't have to mean the growin' part is over
No, it ain't black or white, it's all of the colors
That I only just discovered, now I'm California sober
California sober

Used to live in fear of always slipping
But living for perfection isn't living, I
I ran a little slower, now I'm tripping, I
A beautiful and magical beginning, I
Healing got me lookin' for freedom
Happiness, it used to be fleeting
History was always repeating
Not anymore

I'm California sober
It doesn't have to mean the growin' part is over
No, it ain't black or white, it's all of the colors
That I only just discovered, now I'm California sober
California Sober

Trading judgment for freedom
Found somethin' new to believe in
Somethin' inside of me screaming
"Don't be so hard on yourself"
Look up, somethin' has shifted
My heavy spirit is lifted
I found myself

I'm California sober
Doesn't have to mean the growin' part is over
No, it ain't black or white, it's all of the colors
That I only just discovered, now I'm California sober
California sober
I, California sober, I
California sober

While I find the term "california sober" SUPER cringy, those are actually really nice lyrics.
(Though, i'm definately NOT a fan of her music)

My dad enjoyed seeing me get and stay sober sober for a few years before he died. And speaking of golf and sobriety, I started playing just a few months after putting the bottle down. My dad had tried to learn the game in his 60s with not much success. He looked at me one of the few times we golfed together, I was probably under a year sober, and said “man I don’t know how the hell you’re trying to learn this game in early sobriety. I never could have” …he was sober 36 years when he passed. As proud of me as he always said he was, I think the “learning to golf in early sobriety” comment sticks with me the most. Because you really do just have to accept how miserable the game can make you feel, and soldier on with a smile. Good practice for life on life’s terms

I agree. The internet and social media have in-authentically lessened community awareness (in person) and our own self mindfulness. It's been replaced it with fear, anger, and short term dopamine dumps that are addictive and not healthy.

I see ipads in the faces of 3 year old's and cringe :toilet:

Inside the Adolescent Mental Health Crisis (Published 2022)

Young people in the United States are facing a new set of risks. Why has the situation caught so many people off guard?
www.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com
Interesting listen on this subject, from yesterday. The shift from what was mentally ailing teens from the past and what is ailing them now. The guest's ideas about what might have to happen to "help" is new to me.

TL;DL - it used to be drugs, cigarettes, alcohol, and pregnancy. Vectors from the outside that we had to keep out of their lives. Now it all comes from within. There is so much information that they are bombarded with, puberty happens earlier, and their brains can't handle that combination.

Yeah, I was listening to this and my first thought was "They just had to pick the furthest outlying category possible, didn't they."

But I think it was unconsciously fitting.

The gender identity thing - and the singular individual "C" wanting to have the pronoun "they" used - is a glaring symptom of the problem - digital life is actually making humans unwell by really fvcking with their brains.

Social media is cigarettes and the gender insanity thing is lung cancer.
