Alcoholism as a Disability: Coach Sarkisian's Lawsuit and Autumn's Sobriety Journey

Alcoholism is a disability and it isn't a disability. But there's a solution to this and it doesn't have to be a disability.
Ever wondered if alcoholism could be considered a disability? This episode of Recovery Elevator dives into this hot topic, sparked by the lawsuit of former USC Head Football Coach Steve Sarkisian. Fired due to his drinking problem, Sarkisian is now seeking $30 million from the University of California, claiming wrongful dismissal under state laws.
Hosts Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen take you through the complexities of this case and what it could mean for the broader understanding of alcoholism as a disease. But that's not all. The episode also features an inspiring interview with 33-year-old Autumn, who opens up about her own path to sobriety. From balancing life as a student and mom to managing difficult emotions, Autumn shares how she's successfully navigated her journey without alcohol.
She talks about the importance of self-esteem, healthy eating habits, and staying accountable. Her story is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with similar struggles. Paul and Kris wrap up the episode by encouraging listeners to join the Recovery Elevator accountability group, a supportive community where you can continue these important discussions. If you're curious about the intersection of alcoholism and disability or looking for real-life inspiration to stay sober, this episode has something for you.
