#9: Today's episode with Gavin is so multifaceted, it was hard to choose a title! We go in many directions with this conversation, discussing fatherhood, trauma, varying perceptions and experiences of 12 step programs, and more.
Gavin shares what it was like to get sober in his 20s, and all the lessons he still had to learn after he put down the drink. We talk about facing the pain that substances are covering up, and how getting sober is only one part of recovery. Gavin realized that coping strategies like diving into work, or trying to "win" at yoga can be just another way to escape, and found out what it feels like to be completely honest with himself and with others.
