Cultural Roots in Recovery: Shane Morseau's Journey

There's something about going inside that lodge where you feel like your ancestors are there and you feel like they just welcome you and you feel safe. Honestly, you know, I think it only enhanced not only my recovery but my spirituality, like as a person.
What role does culture play in recovery? For Shane Morseau, it's been a cornerstone. Shane, a Bodéwodmi (Potawatomi) and Odawa Native, shares his deeply personal journey to sobriety that began on October 12, 2006. Growing up in Battle Creek, MI, Shane's path to recovery wasn't just about overcoming addiction; it was about reconnecting with his heritage and using it as a source of strength and guidance.
Today, Shane works as a Peer Recovery Coach for the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, where he helps others find their own paths to recovery. In this episode of 'Recovery Talks', Shane sits down with Lea to discuss how his culture has influenced his recovery journey. He dives into the impact of colonialism on Native American identity and highlights the importance of language and traditional knowledge in healing.
Shane’s story is a testament to the power of community support and the transformative effect of sharing one's experiences. He believes that storytelling not only enhances recovery but also deepens spirituality. If you're curious about how cultural roots can shape and support recovery, this episode offers a heartfelt and inspiring perspective.
