I don't think it's possible to be living the program the way that it's outlined, that we live, and to still remain bigoted long-term.
Imagine facing the challenge of addiction while also navigating the complexities of racial bias. In this compelling episode of 'Recovery Uncovered', hosts Michael 'MHAB Mike' Carpenter and Betsy Vicencio sit down with Dr. David Stone, a mental health counselor and a man of color with decades of sobriety. Dr. Stone shares his personal recovery story, offering a unique lens on how race impacts the journey to sobriety.
This isn't just another discussion about addiction; it's an honest conversation about the added layers of difficulty faced by people of color in recovery. Dr. Stone opens up about his experiences with racism within the recovery community and how it has shaped his path. The trio delves into the role of spirituality and social justice in recovery, emphasizing that the relationships we form are more precious than any material gains.
They stress the importance of community, introspection, and the ongoing effort required to heal. Listeners will find this episode both eye-opening and inspiring as it highlights the need for authentic relationships and open communication to break down biases. Dr. Stone's insights on materialism and the value of genuine connections offer a fresh perspective on what truly matters in recovery.
Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply curious about these issues, this episode provides valuable takeaways for anyone interested in the intersection of race and sobriety. Tune in to hear how Dr. Stone's journey can offer lessons for us all, and join Mike and Betsy as they explore these crucial topics with empathy and honesty.
