Recovery Beyond Sobriety: The Path to Emotional and Spiritual Wholeness

Many people equate recovery with simply "staying sober" or "being clean." While abstinence is a crucial beginning, true, lasting recovery is a much deeper journey. It is a commitment to emotional and spiritual healing that transforms your entire being.

For over 40 years, Hilary Powers has lived as a testament to this deeper transformation. Her recovery journey wasn’t just about putting down the substance; it was about confronting the roots of her pain, which stemmed from a childhood of dysfunction and secrecy in the entertainment industry.

As a trauma-informed coach for over 30 years, Hilary has supported hundreds of women and creatives through addiction recovery, reinvention, body-image restoration, and overcoming creative blocks. This framework of healing is rooted in spiritual resilience and emotional truth. It asks: What emotional baggage do I need to let go of? What spiritual practice will sustain me when life inevitably challenges me?

The Takeaway: Sobriety is the vehicle; emotional and spiritual healing is the destination. True freedom is found when you do the soul-level work that goes far beyond simple abstinence.
