If I do the work of being in integrity and being right here and living my principles right here right now, those things will be taken care of like that.
What happens when a life of addiction transforms into one of advocacy and healing? Meet Suzula Bidon, whose journey from the depths of addiction to becoming a yoga recovery lawyer is nothing short of remarkable. Raised by hippie parents in the woods of Wisconsin, Suzula struggled with isolation and depression from an early age. She turned to alcohol and tobacco, which eventually led her down a darker path involving heroin and methamphetamines.
Her addiction culminated in federal prison and a serious criminal record. In this episode of The Recovery Revolution, host Omar Pinto dives into Suzula’s incredible story. Now a practicing attorney and a Minnesota Certified Peer Recovery Specialist, Suzula has turned her life around in ways she never imagined. She created Recovery Yoga Meetings®, which she has been teaching since 2012, helping others find solace and strength on the mat.
Suzula opens up about the importance of spirituality in her recovery journey and how it helped her overcome past traumas. She discusses the dangers of holding onto old stories and emphasizes the benefits of removing dogma from the recovery process. With a focus on humility and living with integrity, Suzula offers valuable advice for newcomers to recovery.
Whether you’re looking for inspiration or practical tips, Suzula’s story is a powerful testament to the transformative power of sobriety, spirituality, and community support. Tune in to hear how she’s helping others navigate their legal challenges while maintaining their path to recovery.
