I would tell them: just to hang on, just to go to that meeting Just One Day at a time, pick up the phone, call me, call anybody you know that's in the program to get any advice, because they know exactly how you feel.
Imagine living in a remote Alaskan village, battling the harsh elements and an even harsher addiction. That's the reality Chris Fitka faced, and in this episode of 'The Anonymous Eskimo Podcast', he opens up about his path to sobriety. Chris, a 42-year-old Yup'ik man from Marshal, Alaska, has been sober since November 18, 2017.
He shares his journey with host Ralph Sara, discussing the highs and lows, the challenges and triumphs, and the support systems that helped him along the way. From the infamous 'Bethel Special' to the role of community and family in his recovery, Chris's story is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction. Ralph Sara, with his empathetic approach, makes this conversation not just a tale of personal victory but a testament to the strength of Indigenous communities.
If you're looking for inspiration or grappling with addiction yourself, Chris's story might just be the spark you need.
