Cultural Ties and Sobriety: Navigating Recovery in the Latinx Community

It's like it's all in me, and you know so is my Russian side, so is my American side, by the way, like you can't just split that up, you know, with the use of genetics.
Ever wondered how cultural identity influences sobriety? In this episode of 'Recovery Rocks', co-host Tawny Lara teams up with guest co-host Irina Gonzalez to dive deep into their unique experiences as Latinx individuals on the path to recovery. Tawny, a Mexican-Jewish heavy metal enthusiast, and Irina, a Cuban-Russian immigrant, share their personal stories of growing up in Texas and Florida, respectively, and how their cultural backgrounds have shaped their recovery journeys.
They tackle the challenging topics of machismo culture, the often problematic role of religion in seeking mental health help, and the glaring lack of resources for sober Latinx folks. Irina offers heartfelt advice for Latinas striving to stay sober while embracing their heritage. This episode is a heartfelt conversation that blends humor, candidness, and invaluable insights, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of culture and sobriety.
