I think taking photographs and having that photographer's eye has helped me through my sobriety as well, because you look at everything a little differently.
In this heartfelt episode of The Anonymous Eskimo Podcast, host Ralph Sara sits down with Christopher Avessuk, a King Island Inupiaq from Anchorage, Alaska. Chris, a talented photographer and music enthusiast, opens up about his two-year journey of sobriety, which began on June 21st. Growing up surrounded by native culture didn't shield him from the grips of addiction, leading him into a spiral of DUIs and legal issues.
However, with the unwavering support of loved ones and the transformative power of cognitive-behavioral therapy, Chris managed to reclaim his life. He found solace and a renewed sense of purpose in photography, allowing him to see the world through a new lens and find joy in everyday moments. Chris’s story is a testament to the strength of community and the importance of creative outlets in recovery.
His candid account serves as a beacon of hope for anyone battling addiction, reminding us all that brighter days are always within reach.
