Inaya Zuwena: Embracing Sobriety and Rediscovering Self
I found spirituality and sobriety as well, and there is a higher power within me, kind of like an inner divinity that has guided me.
When life throws you curveballs, how do you find your way back to yourself? In this episode of 'Sober Stories', host Beth Bowen sits down with Inaya Zuwena, who opens up about her journey through the dark corridors of childhood trauma and PTSD. Inaya's path to sobriety is marked by resilience and self-discovery, showing us that healing often comes from within. She candidly shares the moment she hit rock bottom and how that pivotal point led her to quit drinking.
But that's just the beginning of her story. Sobriety has not only helped Inaya manage her PTSD but also allowed her to embrace her queer identity as a bisexual woman. Moving away from traditional 12-step programs, Inaya emphasizes the importance of community in her recovery. She talks about the sober community she's building in Austin, TX, and how it offers a fun, alcohol-free social space for everyone.
Her story is a testament to the power of community and the importance of finding new ways to connect and have fun without alcohol. If you're curious about how sobriety can help you reconnect with your true self and build meaningful relationships, this episode is a must-listen.
