Decolonizing Sobriety with Dee Mauricio: Reclaiming Heritage and Healing
“Decolonizing sobriety is ultimately undoing all of that understanding we have of what it means to be sober or what it means to look sober and to figure it out for ourselves.”
Imagine viewing sobriety through the lens of your ancestral roots. That's exactly what Dee Mauricio brings to the table in this episode of 'No Thanks But Yes'. Host Donald McDonald sits down with Dee, who hails from the Indigenous people of Guatemala, to discuss her unique approach to recovery. Dee's journey is deeply intertwined with her heritage, and she sheds light on how reconnecting with her culture and customs has been pivotal in her healing process.
She even explores the role of plant medicines like cannabis in her recovery, challenging conventional views on sobriety. Dee also delves into the concept of alcohol as a tool of colonialism and critiques traditional mutual aid settings that may further alienate people from their indigeneity. Her perspective is eye-opening, offering a fresh take on what it means to be sober.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the diverse paths to recovery and the importance of cultural identity in healing.
