Once you've internally made the decision to stop drinking, then the external environment will start to align to match this desire.
What does it take to finally put down the bottle and reclaim your life? In this compelling episode of Recovery Elevator, hosts Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen sit down with Jay, a 37-year-old who shares his rocky road to sobriety. Jay's story begins in upstate New York but takes a significant turn after moving to North Carolina, where his drinking spiraled out of control.
He recounts multiple failed attempts to quit, each time falling back into old habits until he hit rock bottom on December 21st, 2018. This moment of clarity led him to dig deep and confront his addiction head-on. One of the most powerful aspects of Jay's journey is his emphasis on the importance of wanting to stop. He explains how the mere intention to quit drinking creates 'friction' that can gradually reduce alcohol intake.
By setting boundaries and learning to communicate openly in his relationships, Jay found the courage to seek help and embrace a sober life. This episode is not just about Jay's personal battle; it's a broader discussion on the significance of awareness and courage in overcoming addiction. Paul and Kris guide the conversation with empathy and understanding, making it a must-listen for anyone grappling with alcohol dependence or supporting someone who is.
Tune in for an inspiring and practical conversation that underscores the possibility of living a fulfilling, alcohol-free life.
