I didn't stick out of the crowd in that regard, and until Years into it, and I really started realizing that, you know I'm the only one that's drinking in the morning on The Weekends, and I'm the only one that has a cooler full of beer in the back of my truck, that I'm sneaking out there at break time and lunchtime. Right, right, I love your phrase: righteous rage.
Ever wondered how childhood experiences shape our understanding of masculinity and impact our journey to recovery? In this episode of the Positive Sobriety Podcast, hosts Nate Larkin and David Hampton have a candid chat with Justin B. Long, the author of 'The Righteous Rage of a Ten-Year-Old Boy'. Justin opens up about his early years and how they influenced his path to addiction, offering a raw look into the struggles he faced and the lessons he learned along the way.
This isn't just another recovery story; it's a deep dive into the power of self-awareness and the courage it takes to challenge long-held beliefs about what it means to be a man. The conversation delves into the harmful effects of toxic masculinity, shedding light on how these societal norms can hinder recovery. Justin shares practical insights on overcoming fear and anger, emphasizing the importance of redefining gender roles for a healthier, more balanced life.
Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable takeaways and heartfelt stories that resonate on many levels. Tune in for an inspiring discussion that encourages you to rethink masculinity and embrace self-awareness as a tool for healing.
