It's really understanding that truth of we are powerless, completely powerless, and so for people like us, we can never become normal drinkers, if you want to call it that.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn a life marred by trauma into one of advocacy and support? Meet Daina Kary, a woman whose journey through early parenthood, sexual abuse, and severe alcoholism has shaped her into a powerful advocate for marginalized communities. In this episode of 'Hard Knox Talks: Sober Stories. Real Talk.', host Daniel Unmanageable sits down with Daina to explore her incredible path to recovery and her current role as an Indigenous Social Worker in Saskatoon, SK.
Daina's story is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Growing up, she faced unimaginable challenges that led her down a dark path of addiction. But through sheer determination and the support of the 12-step program, she found a way to rebuild her life. Daina emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and practicing self-love—two crucial elements that helped her overcome her struggles and find a new purpose. Now, as an Indigenous Social Worker, Daina is dedicated to helping others who face similar challenges.
Her lived experience provides her with a unique perspective and the empathy needed to make a real difference in her community. This episode offers a raw and honest look at the power of resilience and the importance of community support. If you're looking for a story that showcases the strength of the human spirit and the transformative power of recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
Daina's journey is a testament to the impact one person can have when they turn their pain into purpose.
