Has Vic gone a bit woo woo?
In this weekโs Awkward Bit, Vic digs a little deeper into Mondayโs conversation and asks why sobriety seems to have opened the door to a whole world she once would have rolled her eyes at.
Weโre talking spirituality, intuition, signs from the universe, meditation, energy and that slightly uncomfortable feeling that there might be something bigger going on, even if you have absolutely no idea what it is.
Vic spent years numbing herself, ignoring her gut and charging through life looking for the next bit of excitement. Now, eight and a half years sober, sheโs much more interested in slowing down, listening to herself and finding a bit of peace. Annoyingly, this seems to involve quite a lot of the woo woo stuff she used to take the piss out of.
So, is there something about getting sober that makes us more open to spirituality? Is it simply what happens when we finally get quiet enough to hear ourselves think? And can you believe in something bigger without disappearing into the woods with a crystal shoved up your fanny?
Vic investigates.
