Adam K's Story: From CODA Challenges to Sobriety on The Drunkalogues

Until after you figure it out, if you're honest, people treat you honestly, because even when I was my first run of sobriety, I just wanted you to like me.
Imagine growing up as the only hearing member in a family of deaf adults. That's Adam K's reality. In this episode of 'The Drunkalogues', Adam shares the immense responsibility he felt from a young age, being the primary communicator for his parents. Raised in West Covina, he navigated the complexities of being the only Jewish kid in a diverse community. His escape? Pot and rap music. But, like many recovery stories, a chance encounter changed his path forever.
Adam dives deep into the weight of perfectionism and his struggle to fit into different worlds. He opens up about substituting one addiction for another and the pivotal role honesty played in his recovery journey. His story isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding authenticity and embracing creative expression despite societal perceptions of handicapped individuals. Listeners will be moved by Adam's candid reflections on the challenges he faced and how he turned his life around.
This episode is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of being true to oneself. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Adam's story offers valuable insights and inspiration.
