Mike's Journey: From Silence to Advocacy

I first and foremost want to say with the utmost sincerity that I am so deeply sorry that you had to experience what you experienced. This on the passion I see that you have in getting moving this forward, building awareness is really for those of us who have been victimized in any way.
Mike from Silenced By Stigma joins 'Sober Gratitudes' to share his powerful story of surviving childhood sexual abuse and addiction. Imagine the strength it takes to confront such dark experiences and then turn them into a mission to help others. That's exactly what Mike has done. As a young boy, he was victimized by an older woman, an experience that led him down a path of addiction and trauma.
But instead of letting these experiences define him, Mike chose to speak out and become a fierce advocate for ending stigmas around male sexual abuse victims. In this heartfelt episode, Mike opens up about the importance of therapy and support systems in his recovery journey. He emphasizes that there is hope and a way out, no matter how deep the scars run.
If you're looking for a story that blends raw honesty with a message of resilience, this episode is for you. Mike's advocacy work aims to break the silence and offer hope to those who feel trapped by their past. Tune in to hear how he's working to change perceptions and provide support for others walking a similar path.
