This is the thing is that when I started showing up to zooms, they couldn't shut me up because I didn't have friends.
What does it take to break free from the chains of addiction, especially within a culturally diverse community? This episode of the Sobertown Podcast dives deep into this question with Sobersquad founders Rai, Raul, and Viv. Hosted by Drifter, the conversation is a heartfelt exploration of the unique challenges faced by those trying to get sober in multicultural settings.
Rai opens up about her journey from feeling isolated in Guam, where both her parents were heavy drinkers, to finding her voice and a supportive community through sobriety. Raul shares the origins of Sobersquad and the powerful impact of creating a space where people from all backgrounds can come together to support each other. Viv discusses the personal biases and fears that often prevent people from joining support groups, and how overcoming these hurdles can lead to profound personal growth.
If you've ever felt alone or scared to reach out for help, this episode offers a beacon of hope and practical advice on embracing vulnerability and finding your sober family. Tune in to hear their stories and gain insights into breaking cultural barriers to achieve sobriety.
