For me to not live in a recovered way means that I'm not being true to who I am, because I know that my most authentic self, my best self, is a sober native woman.
What happens when courage meets community? In this episode of 'Recovery Talks', host Les sits down with three Native American members of the Warrior Down Talking Circle. This heartfelt conversation brings to light the unique challenges and triumphs faced by indigenous people in recovery. Each guest opens up about their personal journey to sobriety, sharing the struggles they've overcome and the lessons they've learned along the way.
One guest emphasizes the importance of being a positive role model for family, saying, 'I just want to be a good example for my family, to show them that a person like me can turn their life around'. Another highlights the significance of learning to grieve without turning to substances, reflecting, 'Since I've been in recovery, learning how to grieve properly without diving into a bottle or drugs has been a big step for me'.
The discussion also touches on how recovery can mend and strengthen relationships, and why embracing humility is vital in the healing process. From the impact of addiction on Native American communities to the crucial role of peer support, this episode offers a raw and honest look at the power of recovery. It's a testament to resilience and the transformative potential of support networks. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that underscores the strength and determination of these remarkable individuals.
