Maureen O'Brien on Finding God's Love and Embracing Recovery

When I think back to who I was during that time, being that vulnerable, my heart breaks for who I was at that time.
What happens when a spiritual awakening strikes in the most unexpected of places? In this episode of 'The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast', host Arlina Allen chats with author and writing teacher Maureen O'Brien. Maureen opens up about her recovery journey, including a life-changing moment in a Burger King parking lot that set her on a path to spiritual awakening.
Growing up in a dysfunctional home, Maureen faced numerous challenges, but she found solace and purpose through writing and spirituality. Her new book, 'Gather the Fragments: My Year of Finding God's Love', serves as a testament to her transformative experience. During the conversation, Maureen discusses the importance of breaking anonymity and the power of empathy in the recovery process. She highlights how self-compassion and understanding one's worth are crucial for healing.
Religious trauma and its impact on sobriety also come under the spotlight, offering listeners a deeper understanding of this often-overlooked issue. The episode wraps up with Maureen sharing a poignant passage from her book, leaving listeners with a sense of hope and inspiration. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Maureen's story offers valuable insights and encouragement.
