Writing my Recovery - with Cici Reagan
Manage episode 291972754 series 2887483
Tribe Sober - inspiring an alcohol-free life!
My guest this week is Cici Reagan - a recovering addict and a domestic abuse survivor
With a difficult upbringing and then an abusive partner the odds were stacked against Cici and she became an alcoholic - but she also found solace in her writing
Not only has writing saved her own life but she is now helping others to heal - using the power of poetry.
In this Episode
- Cici's father was an alcoholic - and so was her first partner. That is quite a common pattern
- She went to AA as that was the only thing she knew about - it took her years to find the right group - but eventually it worked
- As she got sober she was feeling emotions she'd buried for years - she had no idea how to deal with them
- She's been drinking since she was 14 so lacked the emotional maturity to deal with her emotions
- As she worked through her traumas Cici recognised that the drinking had just been a symptom
- Throughout everything she had been writing - poetry, short stories and journal entries.
- She shared what she was going through and when she got sober she sarted a community for people like herself
- Cici used to feel a lot of shame about her drinking but can now look back at her younger self with compassion
- We recommend journalling as a key recovery tool here at Tribe Sober
- If you feel you need help with your creative writing then check out www.cicireagan.com for free resources which can help
- Cici also runs workshops
