Steven Y.: Overcoming Alcoholism with Honesty and Community

Every day I get to walk into a meeting and identify with a group of people who think like me, act like me, who have survived alcoholism, emerged from the other side...
Picture this: a friend tells you that you smell so bad, people avoid you on the train. For Steven Y., this brutally honest moment was a wake-up call. In this episode of 'Keep Coming Back: Real Stories of Sobriety & Recovery', Steven shares his candid journey from the depths of alcoholism to a life of sobriety.
He opens up about the challenges he faced, from the highs and lows of substance abuse to the often overlooked cultural aspects of addiction, particularly within Asian communities. Steven's story isn't just about hitting rock bottom; it's about climbing back up with the help of friends and the support network in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). He discusses the importance of honesty and questioning within AA, and how these elements have been crucial in his recovery.
He also reflects on how cultural factors can influence addiction and recovery, shedding light on why Asian culture seems underrepresented in 12-step programs. Steven's journey is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible with the right support and a willingness to face the truth. His story will resonate with anyone struggling with addiction or supporting a loved one through their recovery. Tune in to hear how Steven found his way back to a fulfilling life, one day at a time.
