Human connection is an innate need to create a social bond with others. For those that found a temporary connection with alcohol and are now trying to ditch the booze now find them facing disconnection head on.
Have you ever felt that the key to overcoming addiction might lie in connecting with others? In this heartfelt episode of Recovery Elevator, hosts Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen chat with Gracie, a nurse from Chicago who shares her inspiring journey to sobriety. Gracie, who took her last drink on September 29, 2018, opens up about how building meaningful connections has been pivotal in her recovery process.
Paul also dives into the importance of human connection and how it can replace the temporary bond many find with alcohol. He suggests that half of our connections should be external, with friends and family, while the other half should be internal, focusing on self-love and personal growth. Gracie's story is a testament to the power of vulnerability and sharing.
She talks about the tools she uses to maintain her sobriety, including the role of social media and the books that have guided her along the way. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the profound impact of connection in overcoming addiction. It's not just about quitting alcohol; it's about finding a supportive community and nurturing your inner self.
