When I was growing up, I thought my job was to suffer, and I actually thought I proved my masculinity by being able to suffer an immense amount of pain.
Imagine growing up in a world where secrecy is a way of life. For David G, this was his reality as he was raised in a religious cult. In this gripping episode of 'The Drunkalogues', David opens up about how the need to hide his family's cult membership set the stage for his struggle with alcoholism. He kept his addiction hidden from everyone close to him until the weight of it became unbearable.
Through his story, David reveals the importance of self-compassion and the realization that one's worth isn't tied to their failures or achievements. His journey from secrecy to sobriety is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, even in the most challenging circumstances. If you're looking for a tale of resilience and hope, this episode is a must-listen.
