Paul Churchill's Journey: Sobriety, Creativity, and the Inner Struggle

Eliminating the external toxin, like alcohol or drugs, whatever is, is just the first step on a much longer journey, because unless you go internal afterwards, you're always going to be sort of stuck in that place where you're thinking, man, I wish I could have a drink or my life is miserable because I can't drink whatever, because you haven't progressed beyond the point where you've just put down the substance.
Ever wondered what it takes to transform a life gripped by addiction into one filled with purpose and creativity? In this episode of 'Recovery in the Middle Ages', Mike and Nat sit down with Paul Churchill, the inspiring host of 'Recovery Elevator' and author of 'Alcohol is Sh*t'.

He dives into the importance of accountability, the role of self-control, and the often overlooked impact of addiction on one's creativity and identity.
