Chef Donald Chang's Recipe for Recovery: From Addiction to Purpose

I was like, oh, I don't do that street stuff, I cook this myself like I cook everything else. But anyways, she came down and she caught me cooking drugs in my kitchen one day. I'm a successful chef, I'm an entrepreneur, I'm liked by many, I party all the time, I drink single malt scotch- damn it, yeah.
What if the secret ingredient to recovery was community? Chef Donald Chang, the culinary mastermind behind Nara Sushi & Korean Kitchen, serves up a heartfelt story on the Positive Recovery MD podcast. Hosted by Dr. Jason Powers, this episode is a flavorful mix of personal struggle, redemption, and the power of strong relationships. Donald dives into his past, sharing candidly about his battles with substance use and the pivotal moments that led him to sobriety.
One key turning point was finding solace and support in a local house church. This welcoming community not only helped him maintain his sobriety but also gave him a deeper sense of purpose. In this episode, you'll hear about the importance of effective communication and how building strong, supportive relationships can be a game-changer in recovery. Donald's story underscores the significance of seeking out positive influences and setting healthy boundaries.
He emphasizes humility and mentorship, revealing how having a sponsor who held him accountable was crucial to his journey. Whether you're navigating your own path to recovery or supporting someone who is, Donald's experiences offer valuable insights and inspiration. Tune in to learn how community and connection can transform lives, one relationship at a time.
