Alcohol should be seen as the addictive substance that it is instead of a normalized social occurrence that you can't seem to get away from.
Imagine waking up one day and deciding to rewrite the narrative of your life. That's exactly what Breigh Surma did. At just 76 days sober, Breigh sat down with Nate Kelly on 'The Sobriety Diaries' to share his powerful story. As a transgender man, Breigh's journey through alcoholism wasn't just about battling addiction; it was about breaking free from societal norms and self-destructive patterns that held him back.
He dives into the dangerous mindset that only 'dysfunctional' people are alcoholics, challenging this notion head-on. For Breigh, recognizing alcohol as an addictive substance rather than a harmless social activity was a game-changer. His story is a candid look at how he lowered his standards and morals to align with his actions, only to later confront and reject the drunk version of himself he despised. Spirituality played a crucial role in his recovery, helping him find peace and purpose.
This episode is more than just a recount of sobriety; it's a testament to the strength found in vulnerability and the transformative power of sharing one's truth. Whether you're navigating your own recovery or supporting someone who is, Breigh's story offers invaluable insights and hope.
