Embracing Authenticity: Alex's Sobriety Story on Recovery Elevator

When the pink cloud is there, this is the time to do the work, and I don't want to call it work, but this is the time to really go internal, start developing the recovery communities, the people who don't drink as well, um, check out yoga, check out exercise fitness, maybe go to some meetings.
Ever wondered if forcing a smile at work could impact your drinking habits? In this eye-opening episode of Recovery Elevator, host Paul Churchill chats with Alex, who has been sober for 63 days. Alex shares his candid journey from alcohol dependence to sobriety, highlighting the significance of being true to oneself. Paul dives into fascinating research showing that employees who fake happiness at work are more likely to drink heavily afterward.
It's called 'surface acting', and it's a real eye-opener for anyone in customer-facing jobs. The episode sheds light on the importance of authenticity over forced positivity, especially in the workplace. Alex’s story is a testament to the power of honesty and self-awareness in recovery. He offers practical advice and heartfelt insights for those beginning their sobriety journey. Whether you're sober curious or supporting someone in recovery, this episode is packed with relatable experiences and valuable tips.
Tune in to discover how embracing your true emotions can pave the way to a healthier, booze-free life.
