I'm a firm believer now, after Five And A Half Years of doing this project, that addiction is a manifestation of your environment.
Ever wondered how someone goes from owning a bar in Spain to becoming a champion for sobriety? In this episode of 'Recovery Rising', Brian Adkins chats with Paul Churchill, the voice behind the popular Recovery Elevator Podcast. Paul's journey is anything but ordinary. Growing up as one of the few non-Mormon kids in Utah, he eventually found himself running a bar in Grenada, Spain. But his story doesn't end there.
Paul shares his transformative path to sobriety, which includes both conventional recovery methods and more unconventional approaches like plant medicine from shamans in Costa Rica. The conversation between Brian and Paul dives deep into the difference between merely staying sober and truly recovering. They discuss how your environment can play a huge role in addiction and recovery, and Paul debunks the genetic myth of addiction.
One standout moment is when Paul emphasizes that 'addiction is not a life sentence, it's just a detour'. This episode is packed with eye-opening insights and practical advice for anyone touched by addiction. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the journey, Paul's story offers hope and encouragement.
