You know, every day I get to walk into a meeting and identify with a group of people who think like me, act like me, who have survived alcoholism, emerged from the other side...
Imagine being told by a roommate that you smell so bad, you remind them of the homeless person everyone avoids on the train. That was a wake-up call for Steven Y., and it marked the beginning of his journey to sobriety. In this episode of 'Journeys Unplugged: Stories of Triumph in Sobriety', Steven opens up about his struggles with alcohol and his path to recovery through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
He doesn't shy away from discussing the raw, unfiltered moments of his addiction, making his story both gripping and relatable. Steven dives into the challenges he faced during early sobriety, shedding light on how difficult it can be to rebuild a life from the ground up. He talks about the importance of community support and how AA played a crucial role in his recovery.
But Steven's story goes beyond personal struggles; he also addresses the broader issue of cultural representation in addiction treatment. As an Asian-American, he shares his thoughts on why Asian culture seems underrepresented in 12-step programs and how this has impacted his own journey. Forgiveness and making amends are recurring themes in Steven's narrative. He emphasizes the power of taking things one day at a time and the importance of small, consistent steps towards recovery.
Whether you're already on your path to sobriety or just starting to explore your options, Steven's story offers a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, no matter how daunting it may seem. Tune in to hear Steven's candid account of his journey, filled with insights and reflections that could resonate with anyone dealing with addiction or supporting someone who is.
