It's about finding the right space for you.
Imagine being born into a world where your very existence is considered illegal. That's the reality Sara-Jayne Makwala King faced, being the child of a white British woman and a black South African man during apartheid. In this episode of 'Tribe Sober', Sara-Jayne opens up about her extraordinary life, marked by a complex mix of personal challenges and triumphs. From a young age, Sara-Jayne found refuge in books, using them as an escape from her tumultuous reality.
As she grew older, she grappled with eating disorders and self-harm, seeking ways to numb her emotional pain. Her struggle with alcohol began when she moved to Dubai, where her drinking spiraled out of control. Despite her challenges, she didn't see herself as an alcoholic, especially when compared to her brother's severe addiction. Sara-Jayne's journey took a darker turn when she lost her job as a journalist in Dubai due to her erratic behavior.
This period of her life was filled with anger and despair, even leading her to contemplate crashing her car. However, her story didn't end there. Through various recovery programs and the supportive community at Tribe Sober, she found the strength to reclaim her life. This episode isn't just about Sara-Jayne's battle with addiction; it's about the importance of finding a safe and supportive space for recovery.
Whether it's through Tribe Sober or another group, having a community where you can share your feelings and experiences is crucial. Sara-Jayne's story is a testament to the power of authenticity and the healing that comes from embracing one's truth. Tune in to hear Sara-Jayne Makwala King's inspiring journey in her own words.
