A big realisation I came to was that black communities are some of the highest of communities that have mental health issues and some of the lowest of communities that have access to mental health resources.
What happens when a reality TV star swaps the glitz and glamour for a life dedicated to mental health advocacy? In this episode of Sober Sips, host Emily Syphas sits down with Vas J Morgan, known for his stint on 'The Only Way Is Essex', to uncover his transformative journey to sobriety. Vas candidly discusses his tumultuous relationship with alcohol and drugs, revealing how he once turned to cocaine in a desperate attempt to counteract the effects of heavy drinking.
But his story doesn't end there. After hitting rock bottom, Vas found solace and strength through therapy, which helped him confront the underlying traumas that fueled his addiction. Realizing that mental health resources were sorely lacking in black communities, he launched the 'I AM ENOUGH' platform, creating a safe space for open discussions about mental health without stigma. In this heartfelt conversation, Vas highlights the power of positive affirmations and the importance of surrounding oneself with supportive friends.
His message is clear: sobriety isn't just about quitting substances; it's about embracing a life filled with purpose and joy. Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Vas's story offers inspiration and hope.
