Finding Your 'Why': Lauren's Path to Sobriety
“Once you know the ‘why’ you want to quit drinking the how always solves itself.”
Why is it so crucial to understand your reasons for quitting alcohol? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen sit down with Lauren, who shares her journey to sobriety that began on November 17, 2018. Lauren, a 38-year-old adjunct faculty member at a university in Boston, opens up about the emotional rollercoaster that accompanied her drinking habits and how identifying her 'why' made all the difference.
Paul emphasizes that once you know why you want to quit drinking, the 'how' becomes much easier to figure out. He suggests that most people already have a wealth of reasons, from emotional dips to letting down loved ones. Lauren recounts how alcohol became a fixture in her life during her university years and the turning points that led her to finally give it up.
This episode also explores alternative methods to Alcoholics Anonymous, like breathwork and meditation, and highlights the fulfilling life goals one can achieve without alcohol. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that offers hope and practical advice for anyone struggling with addiction.
