The point is just to keep coming back, like they say in the rooms, keep coming back to the meditation practice, and don't resist.
What happens when your faith and your journey to sobriety seem to be at odds? In this episode of The Unruffled Podcast, hosts Sondra Primeaux and Tammi Salas sit down with Sandy Ford, an attorney from Chicago and the voice behind www.sobermormon.com. Sandy opens up about her unique struggle of reconciling her Mormon faith with her path to sobriety.
She shares how she found her place in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous and came to believe she deserved a joyful, sober life. Sandy’s story is a powerful testament to the healing power of honesty and self-expression through writing. She explains how her candid blog became a lifeline, not just for herself but for others navigating similar struggles.
Sandy also reveals her go-to tools for maintaining sobriety, including exercise, meditation (with a nod to the Headspace app and Dan Harris’s 10% Happier Podcast), and fiction reading. This episode offers a blend of personal reflection and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking solace and inspiration on their recovery journey.
