You know, connecting with people is so so important, especially through covid... the foundation that I built for my recovery and that pride helped me build for my recovery is the reason that I've been able to maintain it.
Imagine navigating the complex journey of sobriety while also confronting societal norms that don't quite fit who you are. That's exactly what Jessica, a proud pansexual, discusses in this episode of 'Proud Voices'. Hosted by the empathetic Kaylee Hoaby and Luke Miller, Jessica opens up about their experiences with substance use and how they found solace at Pride Institute, a treatment center dedicated to the LGBTQ+ community. Jessica doesn't shy away from tough topics.
They talk candidly about the discrimination they've faced, particularly within healthcare settings that often don't accommodate non-heteronormative identities. Ever felt 'othered' by religion? Jessica has too, and they share how this feeling impacted their journey to sobriety. Released on Jessica's sobriety anniversary—April 15, 2019—this episode isn't just about struggles; it's also a celebration of finding community and acceptance. Jessica highlights the importance of alternative recovery programs to AA and emphasizes building a solid foundation for lasting sobriety.
Their story is a testament to the resilience and strength found within the LGBTQ+ community. So, if you're looking for an inspiring tale of overcoming adversity, this episode is a must-listen. Whether you're part of the LGBTQ+ community or simply seeking stories of human triumph, Jessica's journey offers valuable insights and hope.
