Pinki's Path: Balancing Addiction, Bipolar Disorder, and Recovery

There are three things that I know that are true and never going to change. Those things are as real as eating, sleeping, drinking right for me.
Meet Pinki, a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor from Seattle, who opens up about his battle with addiction and bipolar disorder. Pinki shares his compelling story of a six-month relapse during the pandemic and how he managed to turn his life around with the help of Pride Institute. Co-hosts Kaylee Hoaby and Luke Miller dive deep into Pinki's experiences with co-occurring disorders and poly-use as a means of self-medication.
Pinki's candid reflections on honesty, support, and community offer a raw and insightful look into the complexities of recovery. With his mantra, 'There are three things I know for sure: I'm living with HIV, I'm bipolar, and I'm an addict', Pinki's journey is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking understanding or guidance on managing addiction and mental health issues.
Tune in for practical advice and heartfelt stories that underscore the importance of self-care in maintaining sobriety.
