My role and the way that I approach anyone... it's not a moment to begin evangelizing like that. Different people have different needs.
Imagine transitioning from the spotlight of stand-up comedy to the quiet contemplation of a chaplain's life. That's exactly what Seth Perry did. In this episode of 'Beyond Belief Sobriety', Seth opens up about his battle with addiction, his journey to recovery, and how he found a unique blend of secular and spiritual approaches that worked for him. Growing up in Vancouver, British Columbia, Seth's addiction began during his early years as a comedian.
The pressures of the industry led him down a dark path, burning bridges and leaving him searching for a way out. He eventually turned to his faith for guidance, but not in the traditional sense. Seth's story is one of resilience, self-discovery, and the power of meeting people where they are in their recovery journey. Now living in Kingston, Ontario, Seth serves as a chaplain and support worker, offering a humanist perspective on faith and recovery.
He emphasizes the importance of tailored support, especially for individuals from diverse backgrounds like the LGBTQIA+ community. His views on the use of marijuana in recovery are also eye-opening, providing a balanced look at its dangers and potential benefits. Seth's passion for helping others shines through in his work, which includes producing videos on addiction recovery and spirituality. His story is a testament to how a secular approach can lead to a fulfilling life of service and purpose.
