I get a phone call from my boss and he's like: Samara, I really need to see you. What I really understood about Craig was the feelings that he had. Craig had reached into my mind and dragged everything out and was able to articulate it, all the stuff that I'd been feeling since I was a child.
Imagine growing up in a conservative Muslim household and then finding yourself on a path of addiction. That's the story of Sumera, who opens up about her journey in this heartfelt episode of 'Sober Speak'. Host John M. guides the conversation as Sumera shares her experiences with alcohol and the challenges she faced as a woman of color from an Islamic background. Despite the odds, she found solace and support within the walls of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
Her story is not just about overcoming addiction but also about finding peace and rebuilding relationships, especially with her father. Sumera’s candid reflections on forgiveness and understanding add depth to her narrative, making it a compelling listen for anyone seeking hope and inspiration. Whether you’re on your own recovery journey or simply interested in powerful personal stories, Sumera’s tale offers a poignant reminder that change is possible, no matter where you start.
