What has worked for me - Gavin F - CODA Speaker

Gavin shares their experiences growing up in a chaotic, alcoholic household and the coping mechanisms they developed, such as retreating and people-pleasing. They discuss how these survival tactics, while effective in childhood, hindered healthy relationships and personal growth later in life. Gavin details their journey into recovery, emphasizing the importance of the ‘keep coming back’ principle and the transformative power of embracing character defects within the fellowship of CoDA.
