Paul Silva on Finding Joy and Community in Sobriety

You don't have to go live in a cave, you don't have to become a monk or a nun, you're not giving up anything, you're gaining the world, you're gaining your life.
What if the journey to sobriety could be both fulfilling and joyful? In this episode of the Real Sobriety Podcast, host Robert McClellan chats with Paul Silva, a recovery coach, author, and professional chef. Silva brings a fresh perspective on addiction recovery, blending his experiences from the culinary world with his deep understanding of what it takes to stay sober.
His book, 'Longing for the Spirit', has already helped many find their path, and his insights here are just as valuable. Silva opens up about his own recovery journey, emphasizing the importance of setting goals and finding joy in everyday life. He shares how physical activities like running have been instrumental in his own process, and encourages listeners to find what works for them. The conversation also touches on the role of social media in building a supportive community.
Silva believes that staying connected is crucial for anyone in recovery, and he offers practical tips on how to use social platforms to your advantage. As Silva puts it, 'you don't have to go live in a cave, you don't have to become a monk or a nun, you're not giving up anything, you're gaining the world, you're gaining your life'.
This episode is packed with wisdom and practical advice for anyone looking to navigate the ups and downs of addiction recovery while building a fulfilling life.
