Breaking Barriers: Christina's Journey Through Sobriety and Race
It's time to change those things. You know part of what I'm trying to do here.
Ever wondered how race intersects with the journey to sobriety? In this bonus episode of 'A Sober Story Podcast', Emily sits down with Christina from Sisters in Sobriety to tackle this very question. Christina, a biracial woman, opens up about her unique experiences in the sober community and the reactions she's faced along the way. This conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics.
Emily and Christina dive deep into the lack of diversity in the sober movement and the stigma surrounding addiction in the black community. They explore how cultural norms and generational issues can make seeking help even more challenging for people of color. But it's not all heavy. The episode is also a call to action, urging listeners to break these barriers and make sobriety more inclusive and accessible for everyone.
With personal anecdotes and heartfelt discussions, this episode is a powerful reminder that addiction doesn't discriminate, and neither should the support systems in place to help those in need. Tune in to hear Christina's inspiring story and join the push for a more diverse and supportive sober community.
