Dan's Road to Sobriety: Finding Life Synergies Beyond Alcohol

It's not a NO to alcohol, but a YES to a better life!
Picture this: Dan, a father of three from New York, who once used alcohol as a crutch, now finds joy in cycling and living a sober life. In this heartfelt episode of Recovery Elevator, hosts Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen chat with Dan about his journey to sobriety, which began on July 28, 2018. Dan opens up about how his drinking habits started in high school and escalated through college, eventually becoming a way to cope with stress.
He candidly shares the challenges he faced and the pivotal moments that led him to embrace a booze-free life. Paul also touches on the importance of shredding the shame and stigma associated with alcohol addiction. He reads a touching letter from a listener who found comfort in his book, 'Alcohol is Sh!t', and how sharing her story on a plane helped another person in need.
This episode isn't just about Dan's story; it's a broader conversation about finding activities that bring joy and fulfillment outside of drinking. Dan's experience is a powerful reminder that life is full of synergies waiting to be discovered once alcohol is no longer in the picture. Whether you're sober curious, newly sober, or supporting someone on their recovery journey, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.
Tune in to hear Dan's inspiring story and gain practical advice on embracing a better life without alcohol.
