How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? In this episode of BrainStorm with Sony Perlman, listeners are treated to an engaging conversation with Asher Gottesman, a spiritual entrepreneur and Rabbi. Asher's journey from a seemingly idyllic childhood to battling addiction and eventually becoming a beacon of hope for others is both heart-wrenching and inspiring.
Asher shares his early struggles with loneliness and substance abuse, highlighting how his father's prominence as a community leader added to the pressure he felt. The discussion takes a heartfelt turn as Asher and Sony reminisce about their long-standing friendship, discussing the nuances of recovery, the importance of vulnerability, and even touching on the controversial topic of psychedelics in treatment. Asher's approach to recovery is deeply rooted in connection and community, emphasising the power of unconditional love and support.
His work with Transcend, a program dedicated to helping individuals in recovery, is a testament to his dedication to making a difference. Listeners will appreciate the candidness of the conversation, as both Asher and Sony reflect on their personal experiences and the broader challenges faced by those in recovery. The episode is a reminder that while the journey to sobriety can be daunting, it's also filled with opportunities for growth and connection.
So, what drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? Perhaps it's the realisation that true strength lies in vulnerability and the support of a caring community. Tune in to explore these themes and more with Sony and Asher.
