I'm very thankful for those deep internal moments of pain that I built off, that I never forgot.
Have you ever wondered what it takes to break free from the grip of addiction? In this episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', Duane Osterlind chats with Paul Churchill, the founder of Recovery Elevator. Paul's story is a compelling mix of risk, resilience, and community support. Starting as a 'normal' drinker in his teenage years, Paul found himself increasingly reliant on alcohol to mask his insecurities and fears.
By 22, he had moved to Spain and bought a bar, a decision that only deepened his addiction. But Paul's journey didn't end there. With only six months of sobriety under his belt, he launched the Recovery Elevator podcast, a move he describes as life-saving. Through candid conversations, Paul discusses the cycle of shame and guilt that often traps those struggling with addiction. He shares how surrendering to these feelings was the first step towards healing.
Paul emphasizes the importance of addressing underlying imbalances within ourselves to achieve true recovery. He believes that recognizing we aren't defined by our inner narrative can help us change our thoughts and behaviors. This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about rebuilding one's life with the support of a community. Paul's insights into overcoming shame and isolation offer hope and practical advice for anyone on the path to recovery.
