So when I get up in the morning, I say thank you and I ask: what is it that you want me to do Today? So I let the stars, the moons, I let everything know that god's in charge and you will come under my authority.
Ever wondered how someone can rise above a deeply painful past to find hope and resilience? In this episode of 'You're Sober! Now What?', hosts Tamar Medford and Lane Kennedy sit down with Cici Owen, whose life story is nothing short of remarkable. Abandoned as a baby and left in her birth father's sink, Cici's early years were a whirlwind of challenges.
Raised in a middle-class household, she learned to be a 'proper lady', but her world turned upside down when she was dropped off in the ghetto at just nine years old. Faced with abuse, bullying, and homelessness, Cici's life could have taken a very different path. But her faith became her anchor. Cici opens up about how her spiritual beliefs guided her through the darkest times, helping her to overcome addiction and rebuild her life.
She shares the daily practices that keep her grounded, including starting each day by asking what God wants her to do. Tamar and Lane also reflect on their own battles with addiction and mental health, making this episode a heartfelt discussion on the power of faith and personal stories. Whether you're struggling with similar issues or supporting someone who is, Cici's journey is a powerful reminder that hope and resilience are within reach.
