Beyond Resolutions: Achieving Lasting Sobriety with Recovery Elevator

Not trying something new is way worse than not trying and failing.
Is a New Year's resolution enough to break free from alcohol? In this engaging episode of 'Recovery Elevator', hosts Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen tackle this question head-on. They start by interviewing Pamela, who shares her inspiring story of reaching one year of sobriety. Her journey is a testament to the power of determination and the importance of setting meaningful goals. Paul and Kristopher delve into the pitfalls of relying solely on New Year's resolutions to achieve sobriety.
They highlight that while resolutions can be a great starting point, true recovery requires more than just a promise made at the beginning of the year. They emphasize the need for measurable goals, accountability, and stepping out of one's comfort zone. The episode also touches on the significance of forgiveness, seeking help, and practicing gratitude. Both hosts share their personal experiences with alcohol addiction, offering valuable insights into the recovery process.
One memorable quote from the episode is, 'Not trying something new is way worse than not trying and failing'. This encapsulates the spirit of their message: growth and progress come from taking risks and embracing change. Listeners are encouraged to step outside their comfort zones and try new activities as part of their sobriety journey.
Whether it's finding new hobbies, engaging in outdoor activities, or simply changing daily routines, these small steps can lead to significant improvements in one's recovery path. Tune in to this episode for practical advice, heartfelt stories, and a dose of motivation to help you on your journey to lasting sobriety.
