When we enter into recovery in the rooms, we relate one to another and to the group and to our higher power, and that has such a powerful effect for the good.
What happens when a legendary actor opens up about his struggles and triumphs? In this episode of PURE Motive Radio, host Marti MacGibbon welcomes the iconic Louis Gossett Jr. for a heartfelt conversation. Gossett dives into his personal journey with recovery, sharing wisdom on who truly holds the reins in our lives and how to navigate the ups and downs.
He emphasizes the importance of recovery meetings, even when life gets hectic, and expresses gratitude for the support systems that have helped him along the way. But Gossett doesn't stop there. He also tackles the heavy topic of racism, reflecting on how far we've come since Dr. Martin Luther King's era and the changes we still need to make.
Drawing from his own experiences and a memorable conversation with Nelson Mandela, he offers a unique perspective on planting seeds of equality in the next generation. The episode wraps up with thoughts on Barack Obama, insights from Gossett's book 'Actor and a Gentleman', and his reflections on receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award. It's a rich dialogue filled with inspiration, honesty, and a call to cultivate a better world for our children.
