Through our sobriety, it's like in the military, we all wore the same thing.
Ever wondered how identity and sobriety intersect? In this heartfelt episode of 'I Kissed Alcohol Goodbye', Dana Michael Krull sits down with Mark Schulz, host of the Gangly Flamingo Pod, to explore this very question. Mark, who is approaching 90 days of sobriety, shares his journey with warmth and authenticity, making it clear that living alcohol-free is a deeply human experience that transcends labels.
Mark and Dana dive into the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQIA+ community regarding alcohol use and sobriety. Growing up in a world that often marginalizes those who don't fit traditional norms, Mark’s story is one of resilience and courage. He discusses how his pansexual identity shaped his relationship with alcohol and how finding a supportive community has been crucial in his recovery. The conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics.
They tackle the stigma surrounding sobriety, especially within the LGBTQIA+ community, and the role social media plays in fostering connections that aid in recovery. Mark's candid reflections on using Instagram as a tool for support and accountability are both enlightening and inspiring. Listeners will also hear about Mark's experiences with AA and the language used around addiction and sobriety.
Parenting while sober, embracing vulnerability, and breaking down stereotypes are just a few of the other important themes covered in this rich discussion. If you're looking for a podcast that combines personal stories with broader insights into sobriety and identity, this episode is a must-listen. Mark's journey is a testament to the power of connection and the importance of being true to oneself.
