I'm grateful for sobriety because it's given us these relationships that have so much substance and so much relation of like.
What does it mean to truly feel seen in recovery spaces? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Revolutionary Addictdotes', host Blu Nyle sits down with Myke Anthony to tackle the crucial issue of representation in the 12 step rooms. They dig into the history of addiction and mental health struggles faced by BIPOC and LGBT+ communities, offering a candid look at the challenges and triumphs along the way.
Myke shares his personal recovery journey, highlighting how finding a sponsor who mirrored his own experiences helped him achieve serenity. The conversation also explores the impact of racism in these recovery spaces and why it's vital to have role models who reflect our own identities. By sharing their stories, Blu and Myke emphasize the power of being a loving witness for each other and breaking free from systemic mental slavery.
They discuss practical tools for highly sensitive individuals to thrive and live a life free from toxic patterns. Tune in for an episode filled with raw honesty, powerful insights, and a reminder that representation truly matters.
