When this happens, focus on where it is in the body, be with it, sit with it, dive into the body, and this is where you need to go next in recovery.
Ever wondered what happens when you stop seeking answers outside and start listening to your body? Tricia, a 37-year-old chef from Dallas, shares her eye-opening journey to sobriety in this episode of Recovery Elevator. With a sobriety date of November 14, 2016, Tricia opens up about her early encounters with alcohol, starting from her first drink at 16 to the blackouts that plagued her early twenties.
Her story is a candid look into the life of someone who always drank to get drunk and the eventual realization that she needed to change. Paul Churchill, the host, provides valuable advice for those at a crossroads in their recovery journey. He suggests that instead of seeking external solutions, we should tune into our bodies. By sitting with our feelings and paying attention to physical cues, we can find the next steps in our recovery process.
This approach emphasizes the importance of internal awareness over external searching. Tricia also highlights the role of honesty and accountability in her journey. She discusses how being truthful with herself and others has been a cornerstone of her sobriety. Paul adds his thoughts on the importance of professional support, offering a balanced view on how different resources can aid in recovery. But it's not all serious talk.
Tricia and Paul touch on the joys of sober socializing, proving that life without alcohol can be just as fun, if not more so. Whether you're newly sober, sober curious, or supporting someone on their journey, this episode offers a mix of personal anecdotes and practical advice that can resonate with anyone dealing with addiction.
