It would help a lot for different cultures to open their mind to receiving help and showing a little humility.
Imagine navigating the rocky path of addiction recovery while also dealing with the unique challenges of being a black man in today's society. That's exactly what this episode of 'Stairway to Redemption' tackles. Host Benyi Johnson sits down with two guests, Daniel and Kurt, to explore their personal journeys and the hurdles they've faced along the way. Daniel, a 20-year-old embarking on his first attempt at sobriety, shares the importance of seeking help, even from those older and more experienced.
Meanwhile, Kurt, who has had his share of run-ins with the judicial system, discusses the necessity of being mindful of where you go and how you're perceived by others. Both men highlight the value of attending meetings and the need for greater diversity in recovery spaces. Kurt poignantly notes, 'It would help a lot for different cultures to open their mind to receiving help and showing a little humility'.
This episode is a heartfelt conversation that sheds light on the intersection of race and addiction recovery, offering valuable insights for anyone interested in understanding these unique challenges.
