I had to learn over time that there were a lot of little things that contributed to unhealthy emotional coping mechanisms that I developed over time.
What happens when addiction and cultural identity collide? Autumn Kim’s story is a poignant example of this intersection. Growing up in a Korean-American household, Autumn felt a profound disconnect from her family and struggled to cope with her emotions. This internal turmoil led her down a path of substance abuse, eventually resulting in opioid addiction. Despite numerous failed attempts at sobriety, Autumn never gave up. She sought help, embraced therapy, and found solace in step meetings and service work.
A key takeaway from her journey is the importance of community and support systems in recovery. Autumn stresses the need for individuals to find support outside themselves and to build a robust toolbox for maintaining sobriety. She also underscores the value of having a therapist or counselor who truly understands their patients. Today, Autumn has not only overcome her addiction but also found peace in her cultural identity.
Her story is one of resilience, hope, and the transformative power of community support. Tune in to hear her inspiring journey towards healing and recovery.
