Getting sober is something you have to do for yourself and for your life.
Imagine not being able to look yourself in the mirror for a decade. That's exactly what Paul Churchill faced from 2004 to 2014. In this gripping episode of 'Recovery Elevator', Paul sits down with James, who has been sober for just eight days, to discuss the powerful concept of the mirror test. This episode isn't just about avoiding reflections; it's about facing the harsh truths and embracing self-acceptance.
James opens up about his initial denial, thinking stress and anxiety were his only enemies, not alcohol. Working in the alcohol beverage industry made his journey even more challenging, with social pressures and constant temptations at every turn. But James' story is one of accountability and growth. He shares how he learned to hold himself responsible for his actions and used his setbacks as stepping stones. The best advice he received? Never give up and keep moving forward.
This episode is a raw, heartfelt conversation that highlights the importance of community support in overcoming alcoholism. Tune in for an inspiring story that will make you reflect on your own journey.
