President Joe Biden’s son Hunter tried everything to wean himself off alcohol and crack — from yoga and therapy to psychoactive drugs and the anesthetic ketamine. But in his new memoir, he credits the secretions of the Sonoran Desert toad with keeping him sober for a year. He describes how he traveled to Mexico in 2014, as his marriage was unraveling, in a desperate attempt to get his life back in order, using drug treatments that were not legal in the United States. First, he was given ibogaine, a psychedelic derived from plants at a clinic in Tijuana, which he

The newest cure for alcoholism and drug addiction.
Having recovered from alcoholism and drug addiction almost 15 years ago, I’ve been around and this is probably the biggest bunch of bull crap I’ve ever heard. Save this crap for your momma and daddy ok. They will believe it. Everyone else in recovery will bust gut laughing at you.

Being high on something other than illegal drugs and alcohol is not what most people call "sober".

Hunter my friend. First you've got to get to step one and you are not anywhere near it. Your life seems manageable because Daddy's got the pardon pen. The rest of us have no interest in listening to your pathetic excuses.

This type of sober would be a joke if it weren't so serious. Over the years,( S.Date 8/6/99) I've seen many claiming sobriety but ,in fact. using a substitute substance on the side. If the substance happens to be pot we call it the Marijuana Maintenance program. It may actually show some positive results but they are only temporary. It will bite you in the butt every time. #4 may have it nailed that as long as daddy enables him with protection from prosecution, helps him find positions to rake in huge sums of undeserved money,and otherwise keeps him from suffering the consequences of his actions, he is just mouthing the words of recovery with no actual growth.

Quick! Someone alert Snow White and Sleeping Beauty that another child of a powerful father kissed a toad and turned into a worm. Getting and staying sober takes determination and family support and, as #2 and all my fellow AA’s will attest, this account of recovery belongs in a pasture. Well done, #2 and #7 congrats on 15 years.

I miss Don Jr., Eric and Barron. And honestly, Hunter's antics make me wish for the halcyon days of Amy Carter, Chelsea Clinton and the Bush twins.

Is this an admission kind of like BJ Clinton saying he smoke marijuana but didn't inhale?
A sort of admission of guilt, but that he didn't go all the way so he really didn't do crack?

This article is dangerous to anyone seriously interested in getting sober. Period. And people die because they will try anything to avoid working the twelve steps.
There has been a significant amount of research and controlled medical studies exploring the use of a variety of drugs, which includes psychedelics, in aiding addicts get past trauma in talk therapy that was holding them back in their attempts at achieving Recovery. Bill Wilson talks about 'we only know a bit', and 'someday Science might cure addiction, but it hasn't yet.'
Hunter's habitual addictions has set back legitimate research decades IMO. Anecdotally, I work the Twelve Steps in my life on a daily basis and have for 27 years, so it works if you work it. It has for me anyhow.

Amen, #2! I’ve been sober for 33 years and have done it with the help of God and AA.
BTW, where is PETA on the toad issue? Isn’t that animal abuse?

What a guy! Hunter Biden is EXACTLY the kind of employee that rich foreign corporations are seeking to give high-paying positions that involve no work.

"If it hadn't been for snorting cockroach powder, I'd have gone back to drinking a fifth of Southern Comfort per day. I'd have to say that cockroach powder saved my sobriety."
Makes a boat load of sense to the guy you just met behind the 7-11 hunkering down for a long cold and windy night.

What next? Maybe Hunter will start dressing in fishnet stockings and chunky heels like Doktor Jill.
