Until we can find that ease with ourselves again, we're never going to be free of addictions.
Have you ever wondered what it takes to stay sober and build a supportive community around you? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, host Paul Churchill sits down with Craig, a 40-year-old from central Scotland who has been sober since September 21, 2016. Craig's story is one of transformation and resilience. Growing up with alcohol as a constant presence, his drinking habits escalated to the point where he couldn't relax without it.
From extreme binge drinking to isolating himself with whiskey, Craig's journey to sobriety wasn't easy. But it was a wake-up call that led him to make a conscious choice to quit drinking. He shares how his first attempt at sobriety lasted nine weeks and what he learned from that experience. Craig emphasizes the crucial role of community in recovery, highlighting how reaching out to others can make all the difference in staying sober.
This episode also delves into the future plans for the Recovery Elevator community. Paul discusses migrating the growing community to a private forum, moving away from Facebook, and focusing on creating local groups, in-person meet-ups, sober travel, and sobriety events. The conversation touches on the importance of self-acceptance in overcoming addiction, with the key message being that finding ease with oneself is essential for true freedom from addictions.
Craig's inspiring story and the exciting plans for the sober community offer hope and encouragement for anyone struggling with alcoholism. Tune in to hear Craig's journey and learn more about what lies ahead for the Recovery Elevator community.
