Simon Haigh: "I had a successful career as a lawyer and as an executive. I've also dealt with Imposter Syndrome and ended up drinking too much. About 15 years ago, I decided I needed to look at myself. I was in a really bad place personally. There was a grayness over my life. It felt like I was dragging a ball and chain behind me. I knew that if I didn't get alcohol out of my life, the things that were more important to me would be gone. 

So I started working on myself over a period of about 5 years.

As a direct result, I finally connected with what I describe as my higher power. I was educated as a Catholic in England and I went through all that sort of stuff, but I always pushed against it. I never wanted to believe in a God. 

Today as I look out the window and see the branches swaying in the wind, I know I'm not making them sway. Acknowledging a greater power than me has been a gift because it has allowed me to connect with amazing people around the world. If you are willing, open minded, and self honest, which are three key traits of recovery, amazing things do unfold. That's been my experience. So I would encourage everybody to look at themselves.”
