Why Lala Kent Takes Issue with ‘California Sober’ | WWHL

[@Streaming-Reality]

I’ve been California sober for over 11years best thing I ever did for myself. I fully respect what Lala is saying. I like the term “dry” I’ve never heard that before.. Everybody’s journey is their own.

[@mikemoffett6499]

It depends if you struggle with drug and alcohol addiction

[@stephaniesqq]

@@mikemoffett6499 Exactly!!! People seem to NOT understand that.

[@mikemoffett6499]

[@jefflawrence5835]

I don't know much about addiction and how people typically deal with it. But I have always thought that the road to recovery is a journey. James may not be entirely sober, but I believe that he is trying. Lala may be at a better spot in her journey, but I don't understand why she takes offense with James being “California sober.” Give him advice if you want, but do not look down at him for not being where you are on the journey.

[@jovenusdivine503]

[@richeymayne]

Alcohol is actually used for a number of medicinal purposes, particularly in its pure state. What she's getting at is people using the term sober to describe themselves when they are not at all sober. Doesn't matter how you cut it, smoking weed does not make you sober.

I take issue with "california sober" to. As a recovering alcoholic and drug addict myself since 11/27/82 i find the term offensive. Its insulting to all the genuinely sober people, who struggle and work to maintain their sobriety as it is defined....also James Kennedy needs to stop claiming to be sober and clean and then look up the definition being constantly drug affected by weed is not sober.....he's a rageaholic suffering from untreated alcoholism, he doesnt have or use a sponsor and has constantly stated he doesnt attend meetings, hasnt taken the steps and has ZERO spirituality to speak of......its an insult to all the people who ARE SOBER doing what they need to to remain so.....

Sober is what works for you. I know many people that cannot handle alcohol because they are belligerent and evil but they use pot for anxiety and to help them sleep. Sometimes different substances affect people differently. I don’t think it’s anyone’s place to judge how somebody deals with their sobriety. My husband and I were actually talking the other day and, though I’m not an alcoholic, alcohol was much more of a gateway bad decisions for us than pot has ever been… but I also seldom smoke pot because I do use it medicinally.

It kills me that people are grossed out by tasting human milk, but they’re ok with drinking the milk of a barnyard animal! 😳 Cow milk is meant for baby cows, and even they stop drinking it when they grow teeth! People drink cows milk because they’re programmed at birth. So nobody really thinks about how disgusting and backwards that is! All mammals produce milk. But if I offered you an ice cold glass of Rat milk, Cat milk or Kangaroo milk to dip your cookies in to, you’d refuse..( as you should!) Well same should go for Cow milk! IF we needed to drink any animals milk it should be human! Also if you think you need cow milk for the calcium...wrong again! Did you know there’s more calcium in a cup of spinach than there is in an entire container of cow milk? Many other veggies provide it as well, and there’s Calcium supplements too! Did you know why Chocolate milk was created? Because they unmercifully shoot them up with hormones so the body thinks it’s pregnant and provides more milk as they attach them to milking machines for hours. This caused their nipples to bleed, making the blood tainted milk turn pink. So some money hungry “genius” decided to add chocolate to it rather than throwing it out and losing money! Same for strawberry milk! It’s only to disguise the blood! So that’s the truth about what you’re pouring over your Cheerios! Stop drinking all of that slimy mucus you call milk!
