Wellbriety with my Yuchi Traditions

By Mark Maxey

I began my 12 step work while I was still in prison around 1996. Many weekdays, nights, and weekend meetings helped immensely with my sobriety. Through time I quit working the steps. I did not go back to drinking as I had before. I did slip, have a beer or a glass of wine occasionally. I did not however, open a bottle a drink till I was blacked out But it does not matter, I should have known better, as I was born an addict. I was raised in a dysfunctional alcohol-abusing family. I begin to use alcohol as an escape and form of manipulation at age 11. With parental support and agreement. The Red Road to Wellbriety presents itself in a cultural context I can relate to. AA is a great program almost near 100 years old. But our Indigenous brothers and sisters must go through the Wellbriety system. As it reconnects lost Indigenous persons with addictions with the traditions and spirituality that made our Nations strong. Our nations can become strong again through the Wellbriety program.
