Breaking Free: Matthew's Guide to Overcoming Sobriety Hurdles

Drink this kool-aid and let me tell you you should be drinking and understand this freedom that sobriety has given me.
What if the reasons you struggle to quit drinking are more common than you think? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, hosts Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen sit down with Matthew, who shares his journey of multiple years of sobriety and the lessons he's learned along the way. Matthew introduces the Smart Recovery program and explains why counting days sober might not be the best motivation for everyone.
Instead, he highlights five key barriers that often hold people back from quitting alcohol: not being honest with oneself, lacking a solid recovery plan, fearing the unknown, having unclear personal values and goals, and staying too comfortable in familiar routines. Through candid discussion, Matthew stresses the importance of honesty and personal values in achieving lasting sobriety. He also shares how stepping out of your comfort zone can be a game-changer.
Whether you're newly sober, sober-curious, or supporting someone on their recovery journey, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt inspiration. Tune in to discover how you can break free from the chains of alcohol and start living a more fulfilling life.
