Story #3: TK - From Drunkenly Signing Up for the Army to Finding Real Community in the DIY Punk Scene

In today's episode we hear TK's addiction recovery story. TK spent their high school years as a sober person, then began drinking at the age of 19, and rolled their car by the age of 21. After drunkenly signing up for the army, their partner became pregnant, and their whole world started to change. TK demonstrates that for most of us the path of recovery is not linear. It consists of trials, fuck-its, taking time to let new knowledge sink in, and peeling back the layers of the onion. If we can get down to that middle layer and figure out the wound(s) that we have been covering up with substances, and reconcile that wound, our lives can improve drastically. For TK that wound was a lack of real community, and when they found it, so many things started to fall into place. Instagram @recoverydemystified Email [email protected] Help support our cause!
