Indigenous Men Walk for Sobriety

WALKING THE WALK –

June 27, 2024 – On a cloudy Saturday morning, with temperatures at 77 degrees, a group of men embarked on a journey toward sobriety and mental wellness. The recent monsoons have refreshed the landscape, creating a serene atmosphere for this introspective walk.

The previous evening, they observed a spectacular display of the lightning deity’s might as thunder roared and winds fiercely battered their tents. In a mix of wonder and determination, they marveled at the raw power while striving to secure their tents from imminent collapse.

The men, scattered along a lengthy dirt road that seems to stretch endlessly, are deep in thought as they traverse this path of recovery. Some walk in solitude, while others form supportive groups.

For most of the 11 men, their journey to a sober life has just begun. The program, provided by Beacon Treatment Center in Vernon, Arizona, is part of their path to sobriety.
