"Although they approach recovery from different angles, they agree that recovery saves lives. Every day."
Imagine finding love and battling addiction together, then turning that shared struggle into a creative venture. That's exactly what Simon and Kendra did. After years of heavy drinking, they both chose sobriety in October 2008. Their journey began with Alcoholics Anonymous, but as time went on, their paths diverged, each finding their own way to maintain a sober life. Despite their different approaches, they both firmly believe that recovery is a daily lifesaver.
In this episode of 'Since Right Now', Simon and Kendra open up about their drinking years, sharing candidly about the monotony and despair that came with it. They discuss the early days of sobriety, the hurdles they faced, and how honesty and communication became the bedrock of their relationship. Their story isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about rebuilding a life filled with purpose and creativity.
Their shared passion for graphic design led to the creation of Rocket Designs, an apparel brand that celebrates sobriety and recovery. Through their business, they found a new way to express themselves and connect with others on similar journeys. Simon and Kendra also touch on the role of faith and spirituality in their recovery, offering a glimpse into how these elements have supported them.
One particularly moving part of the episode is when they discuss their daughter's coming out and the challenges they faced within the recovery community. Their experience underscores the importance of finding a supportive network and being open to exploring different options until you find what works for you. Throughout the conversation, hosts Jeff, Matt, and Chris ask thoughtful questions that bring out the best in Simon and Kendra's story.
Listeners will come away feeling inspired by their resilience and motivated to pursue their own creative passions in sobriety. If you're looking for a podcast that celebrates diverse paths to recovery and the healing power of creativity, this episode is a must-listen.
