In this episode of 'The Sober Unicorn', host Holden welcomes Adonis, a dynamic guest with a powerful story of recovery and resilience. Adonis opens up about his journey through addiction, the religious trauma of his childhood, and how he found solace and strength in his relationship with God. Growing up in a conservative small town in Texas as a black man named Ariel presented its own unique challenges, which Adonis navigated with humour and grace.
He shares the significance of being vocal about his recovery journey, highlighting the importance of community and accountability in maintaining sobriety. Adonis discusses how Celebrate Recovery, a Christ-centred support group, played a crucial role in his healing process. Despite initial resistance, he found a sense of belonging and freedom within the group that he had never experienced in traditional church settings. His candid reflections on the struggles and triumphs of sobriety are both relatable and inspiring.
Adonis also touches on the importance of breaking the stigma around addiction and recovery, especially within the LGBTQ+ community. He emphasises the value of living authentically and openly, encouraging others to seek support and share their stories. The conversation is filled with heartfelt moments, light-hearted banter, and profound insights that make it a must-listen for anyone on their own recovery journey. If you're looking for an episode that combines raw honesty with hope and humour, this one's for you.
Adonis' story is a testament to the power of vulnerability and the strength found in community. Tune in to hear more about his path to sobriety and how he's using his voice to make a difference.
