Street Survival and Sobriety: Kyle Rapps on Overcoming Trauma

I think part of me is like yo, I had to do this shit like this. I think that's so important for people to be able to internalize that AA or any step entity is not the end-all-be-all for your mental health.
Imagine growing up in an environment where survival is the primary goal, and addiction becomes a coping mechanism. In this gripping episode of 'Revolutionary Addictdotes', hosts BLU and ANGIE are joined by the insightful Kyle Rapps to dissect the harsh realities of Post Traumatic Street Disorder. Kyle, a survivor of the streets, brings a unique perspective to the table, sharing his journey through addiction and the fight to reclaim his life.
This conversation is a raw and unfiltered look at how trauma shapes addiction, particularly in mixed-race communities and the challenges faced within the 12-step rooms. The trio doesn't shy away from tough topics, discussing the manipulation of youth in disadvantaged neighborhoods and the struggles of getting sober at a young age. With heartfelt anecdotes and genuine reflections, they offer a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with similar issues.
Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and a sense of community. Tune in for an honest exploration of healing and resilience.
