Systemic racism in our country requires reform, recovery if you will and it has to start with us.
Can sobriety and social justice go hand in hand? In this episode of 'A is for Alcoholic', titled 'Y is for You Good?', the hosts dive into the complex intersection of recovery and systemic racism. As the world grapples with the largest civil rights movement in history, they explore how these societal shifts impact personal recovery journeys.
The hosts, one a white guy and the other a Chicano American, candidly discuss their own biases and the discomfort that comes with challenging old ways of thinking. They emphasize that recovery isn't just about abstaining from alcohol; it's also about evolving as individuals and as a society. The episode touches on the necessity of self-examination and empathy, highlighting how alcohol can perpetuate systemic racism and why genuine allyship is crucial.
