Miles' Journey: From Huffing Gas to Sobriety in a Dry Village

If anything, I just hope that you could hear some kind of hope and recognize that you absolutely do not have to live like the way you're drinking, the way that you are.
Imagine growing up in a place where alcohol is hard to come by, yet addiction still finds its way into your life. That's the story of Miles, a St. Lawrence Island Yupik from Gambell, Alaska, who shares his incredible journey on this episode of 'The Anonymous Eskimo Podcast'. Host Ralph Sara delves into Miles' life, revealing how he turned from homemade gas huffing to alcohol addiction, and eventually found his path to sobriety.
Miles vividly recounts the highs and lows of his addiction, including the dangerous practice of huffing gas to feel alive. His story takes us through the emotional and physical toll it had on him and his relationships. But this isn't just a tale of struggle; it's one of triumph and hope. With the support of Alcoholics Anonymous and the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center, Miles managed to rebuild his life.
He opens up about working the steps, staying sober, and mending the bonds with his loved ones. This episode doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of addiction in dry villages and the unique challenges faced by those living there. Ralph and Miles also discuss the importance of seeking help and the crucial role that organizations like Alcoholics Anonymous play in the recovery journey.
Miles' story is a powerful reminder that no one has to suffer alone and that recovery is always within reach. If you're looking for a heartfelt, inspiring story of resilience and recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
