My addiction was admitting where I fail, and that's hard to do. None of that really played a factor into it. No, and that's why so many of us relapse and slip up. But that's the only way to really get at the core of it, because you did it to you, and recovery is a selfish program.
Meet George P. Brooks from Dallas, Texas, a man on a mission to transform lives. In this episode of 'Sitting with Sean', George opens up about his journey from addiction to recovery and how he now advocates for mental health services within the black community. Working with the METTA Association, George is deeply committed to reducing recidivism and promoting fatherhood. His story isn't just about personal triumph; it's about breaking cultural barriers and addressing stigmas head-on.
George shares candidly about the challenges he faced in his own recovery, the cultural differences that shaped his experience, and the steps he took to stay clean. He also highlights the lack of mental health services for those incarcerated and the unique struggles of black fathers. Through his advocacy, George hopes to inspire others to take personal accountability and fight for their rights.
The episode also touches on lighter topics like anime and pro wrestling, making for a well-rounded and engaging conversation. If you're interested in stories of resilience, cultural insights, and the transformative power of recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
