The more the drinking is out of control, the more we attempt to control our external environments. This is the main driver of why control is such an important concept to deepen with and to become aware of the level of control we are placing on the external environment.
Ever thought about how much control you really have over your life? In this thought-provoking episode of Recovery Elevator, Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen sit down with Odette, who took her last drink on December 17, 2018. Her story is a powerful reminder that sobriety doesn't always come from hitting rock bottom but from a deep desire for change.
Paul and Kris explore the intricate relationship between control and addiction, shedding light on how the more our drinking spirals out of control, the more we try to micromanage our surroundings. This episode isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about understanding the broader picture of how we handle life's uncertainties. Odette opens up about her struggles with fear and the unknown, and how embracing forgiveness and acceptance has been crucial in her recovery.
The hosts dive into the shift from trying to control everything externally to focusing on internal growth and self-care. They discuss the importance of trust, both in oneself and in the recovery process, and how knowledge and willpower play roles in overcoming addiction. If you're curious about how letting go can actually give you more control over your life, this episode is a must-listen.
Odette's journey is both inspiring and relatable, offering valuable insights into the challenges and triumphs of sobriety.
