Writing beyond expressing yourself, but writing in order to reveal and discover
Peter Murphy's life reads like a novel, filled with the darkest lows and the brightest highs. In this episode of Now Sober Podcasts, Peter takes us on a raw journey through his harrowing experiences of childhood abuse at the hands of a priest, his spiral into alcoholism, and the pivotal moment he woke up drunk in a gutter. But this isn't just a tale of despair; it's one of incredible resilience and transformation.
Peter shares how writing became his lifeline, helping him process his trauma and ultimately inspiring his recovery. He also discusses the importance of the Winter Poetry & Prose Getaway, an annual event he founded to bring writers together for healing and connection. This episode is a powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments, there's hope and a way forward.
Whether you're grappling with your own struggles or supporting someone who is, Peter's story offers inspiration and a testament to the healing power of creativity.
