À propos de cet audio

 Adam Nimoy grew up in the orbit of an icon — but his real journey was learning how to break cycles, heal resentment, and build a relationship with his father, Leonard Nimoy, that felt human rather than legendary. In this deeply honest conversation, Adam shares his path from decades of daily “wake-and-bake” to long-term sobriety, the emotional maturity he fought hard to earn, and the radical power of living amends. From Al-Anon wisdom to Hollywood weirdness to the spiritual humor woven through recovery, Adam proves that even in the shadow of Spock, you can find your own logic — and your own freedom. Takeaways: Emotional maturity is a learnable skill — and often the key to breaking generational patterns. Recovery isn’t just for addicts; everyone is recovering from something. Living amends can heal relationships where words fall short. Acceptance ≠ approval — a vital distinction Adam learned through Al-Anon. The people who challenge us most often become our greatest teachers. Key Timestamps: [00:00] Adam on reconciling with his father — “no regrets” at Leonard’s passing.
