I think that this is a thing that probably people who aren't in the program, uh, would have a harder time understanding.
Imagine losing your hearing just as you're trying to piece your life back together. That's the reality for Ruben, the drummer and recovering addict in the film 'Sound of Metal'. In this episode of 'Sobriety Sucks', Jack and Meredith dive deep into this Oscar-winning movie, exploring its raw portrayal of addiction, deaf culture, and the challenging road to sobriety. They don't just stick to the surface; they dig into the film's depiction of relapse, codependency, and heartbreak.
But it's not all heavy - they bring their usual blend of humor and honesty to the table too. Jack and Meredith also tackle the film's unique use of sound and silence, drawing fascinating parallels between deafness and the journey of recovery. They discuss how the movie uses cochlear implants as a metaphor for second chances and the complex emotions tied to them. Their personal reflections on these themes add an extra layer of depth to the conversation.
Whether you're a fan of 'Sound of Metal' or just interested in the nuanced intersections of addiction and deaf culture, this episode offers a candid and heartfelt discussion that you won't want to miss.
