I have fully adopted, even though I am not a fish human. Um, you mentioned day fianc, and I have to add this in because I'm Canadian. So basically I got turned away at the border, um, trying to cross in Toronto, where I'm from, and because that kind of went on my record for a bit, um, in trying to figure out how to be with my then boyfriend in the long term, we went to lawyers and they told us going through the k process would be the easiest and for any fans of day fiance, that's the visa that all of these people get.
Ever wondered how to balance recovery with a love for live music? In this episode of '12 Questions', hosts Anna Valenzuela and Dave Yates sit down with Lily Enchin, a proud member of The Sunny Bunny Recovery group for fans of the band Ween. Lily opens up about her unique path through recovery while still enjoying the vibrant world of live concerts.
Lily shares her story of finding her place in the recovery community and how she fully embraced the music culture, even though she's not a 'fish human'. She also dives into her experiences with visa issues and immigration, recounting how she was once turned away at the border while trying to cross into Toronto. Her journey through the visa process, including advice from lawyers and navigating the K visa, adds an interesting twist to her story.
But it's not all bureaucratic hurdles; Lily talks about her mindfulness practices, inspired by meditation videos she found intriguing. She started a gratitude practice during the pandemic, trading daily gratitude lists with a close-knit group via text. This practice has been a cornerstone of her mental well-being. Lily also touches on the importance of self-love and surrounding oneself with positive influences. She mentions how seeing children in the moment connects her to something deeper inside herself.
Her story is filled with hope, inspiration, and, of course, some funky jams. Tune in for an episode that's not just about staying sober but thriving in recovery while keeping the music alive. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Lily's journey offers valuable insights and a reminder that you can still enjoy life's pleasures while staying true to your recovery goals.
