Estuve escuchando la entrevista de Miguel Granados, un humorista, m煤sico y presentador de radio y televisi贸n argentino que le hace una nota mas personal sobre adiccion y su padecer a Chano Charpentier, un cantante, compositor, poeta y guitarrista argentino, l铆der de Tan Bi贸nica, banda que escucho con regularidad.
I was listening to the interview of Miguel Granados, an Argentine comedian, musician and radio and television presenter, who gives a more personal interview about addiction and his suffering to Chano Charpentier, an Argentine singer, composer, poet and guitarist, leader of Tan Bi贸nica, a band I listen to regularly.
Los invito a escucharla, y es una conversaci贸n hermosa sobre como transitar la drogadicci贸n, y que no importa de que droga hablemos, mayormente criminalizamos la marihuana, pero tambi茅n el alcohol, la tecnol贸gica, sea cual fuera todas tienen algo que nos destruye. Y me dejan pensando el como la sociedad nos lleva hasta ese grado de consumo, y que no les importa a los que toman esas decisiones que es "lo mejor" para nosotros... mas que consumir en el instante
I invite you to listen to it; it's a beautiful conversation about navigating drug addiction. It doesn't matter which drug we're talking about鈥攚e mostly criminalize marijuana, but also alcohol, technology鈥攚hatever it is, they all have something that destroys us. And it makes me think about how society leads us to that level of consumption, and how those who make those decisions don't care what's "best" for us... other than consuming in the moment.
Chano cuenta como transita este dolor, y que gracias a la buena compa帽铆a logro salir de ahi, contaba como ahora en las juntas de su banda ya no hay alcohol, y no se preguntan el porque, y como vivi贸 esos momentos en "alcoh贸licos an贸nimos": (es una comunidad mundial de hombres y mujeres que comparten su experiencia para resolver su problema com煤n con el alcohol y ayudar a otros a lograr y mantener la sobriedad, bas谩ndose en los "Doce Pasos" y las "Doce Tradiciones" como gu铆a de recuperaci贸n, sin afiliaci贸n religiosa o profesional, siendo el 煤nico requisito para unirse el deseo de dejar de beber, con reuniones gratuitas y an贸nimas donde se comparte apoyo mutuo para mantenerse sobrio d铆a a d铆a).
Chano recounts how he navigated this pain, and how thanks to good company he managed to overcome it. He explained how now there is no alcohol at his band's meetings, and they don't question why. He also described how he experienced those moments in "Alcoholics Anonymous": (a worldwide fellowship of men and women who share their experience to solve their common problem with alcohol and help others achieve and maintain sobriety, based on the "Twelve Steps" and "Twelve Traditions" as a guide to recovery, with no religious or professional affiliation, the only requirement for joining being a desire to stop drinking, with free and anonymous meetings where mutual support is shared to stay sober day by day).
Gracias a estos movimientos se puede salir, pero no solamente con esta herramienta que puede ser importante, debemos como sociedad, cumplamos el rol que fuese, amigo, conocido, pareja, familia, acompa帽ar a aquel que la esta pasando mal, y ser un apoyo para poder recuperarse de la mejor manera posible. Esta banda es tambi茅n fant谩stica, y dejare el link de su banda para que disfruten tambi茅n de sus letras, llenas de vida y de met谩foras profundas y tristes, melanc贸licas, donde colocamos la transici贸n del dolor hacia el arte
Thanks to these movements, it's possible to move forward, but not only with this tool, which can be important. As a society, we must fulfill whatever role we play friend, acquaintance, partner, family to accompany those who are going through a difficult time and be a support so they can recover in the best way possible. This band is also fantastic, and I'll leave a link to their music so you can enjoy their lyrics, full of life and profound, sad, and melancholic metaphors, where we see the transition from pain to art.
