From Cocktails to Calm: Connie Clotworthy's Road to Recovery

I didn't care, I didn't care who I hurt, what I did if I hurt myself...and then a sponsor helped her discover the power of the present and meditation as a conduit to God.
Picture this: a young girl growing up in Detroit, discovering the world of alcohol and drugs way too early. That girl is Connie Clotworthy, who later found herself thriving as a high-end mixologist in Los Angeles. But behind the glamorous job was a life spiraling out of control. A DUI, a car crash, and a pyrotechnics mishap were wake-up calls that pushed her into the rocky path of recovery.
In this episode of 'The Drunkalogues', Nick Morton sits down with Connie to unravel her tumultuous journey from addiction to becoming a meditation teacher. Connie’s story is raw and real. She opens up about the years of struggle she faced in trying to stay sober. It wasn’t until she met a sponsor who introduced her to the power of living in the present and using meditation as a spiritual tool that things began to change.
Today, Connie runs a non-profit called Worthy Beyond Purpose, teaching meditation to kids around the globe. Her experiences highlight the importance of finding a supportive community and the transformative power of mindfulness. Connie's candid reflections on her past and her ongoing journey offer valuable lessons for anyone grappling with addiction or seeking a path to inner peace. This episode isn’t just about the lows; it’s about finding hope and strength in the most unexpected places.
If you're curious about how someone can turn their life around from chaos to calm, or if you need some inspiration on your own recovery journey, Connie's story is a must-listen. Tune in to hear how meditation became her lifeline and how she now helps others find their own peace.
