Tricia Lewis: Finding Freedom from Alcohol and Embracing Sobriety

I now see alcohol as an exhausted resource and a suboptimal method of mind alteration.
In this heartfelt episode of Elevation Recovery, Chris Scott sits down with Tricia Lewis, the host of the Recovery Happy Hour Podcast. Tricia opens up about her personal battle with alcohol addiction, tracing her journey from dependency to a life of sobriety. Growing up in a household touched by addiction, she initially found solace in academic success and overworking. However, alcohol soon became her go-to escape from emotional pain.
Facing the daunting fear of losing her identity as a drinker, Tricia bravely decided to quit and carve out her own recovery path. Tricia sheds light on the importance of validation in the recovery process, emphasizing how many individuals feel isolated and ashamed in their struggles. She candidly discusses the challenges she faced, including post-acute withdrawal symptoms like flu-like sensations and insomnia.
Despite these hurdles, Tricia found immense support through the digital recovery community, which offered her round-the-clock accountability and encouragement. Listeners will find Tricia's insights on overcoming limiting beliefs about alcohol particularly inspiring. She believes that sobriety isn't just about abstaining from drinking but about enriching life with joyful experiences and meaningful relationships. Tricia hopes to inspire others to view alcohol as an outdated coping mechanism and to embrace a more fulfilling way of living.
Tune in to hear Tricia's compelling story and gain valuable perspectives on addiction recovery. Her journey is a testament to the power of resilience and the transformative potential of sobriety.
