Simone takes centre stage in this episode of SoberQ, sharing her personal journey through recovery and the evolution of her spiritual beliefs. Initially sceptical about the concept of God, Simone faced a challenging relapse that led her to embrace the steps of Alcoholics Anonymous with a newfound willingness. This episode explores how desperation and openness paved the way for Simone's unique understanding of a higher power.
For her, God is anything beyond herself – be it the universe, nature, or even loved ones who have passed away, like her mother and dog Fergus, whom she considers conduits to God. Simone's daily rituals, such as prayer and walking meditations, help her stay connected to this spiritual force, providing comfort and guidance in her sobriety journey. With over 16 years of sobriety under her belt, Simone reflects on how embracing the unknown has brought her peace and contentment.
Her story is a testament to the power of personal growth and finding solace in one's own beliefs. If you're curious about how spirituality can play a role in recovery or looking for inspiration in your own journey, Simone's experiences might just offer the perspective you need.
