Vinny's Road to Sobriety: The Power of Change and Self-Care
“Do the work, find work you enjoy doing, make it into a routine and go create the future you.”
Ever wondered how much change you can handle? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, host Paul Churchill sits down with Vinny, a 61-year-old living in Bangkok, who took his last drink over nine years ago. Vinny's story is one of resilience and transformation. From discovering alcohol in his late teens to battling crack addiction and hitting rock bottom while homeless in Las Vegas, Vinny has seen it all.
His journey through two treatment centers and multiple relapses eventually led him to a stable, sober life since 2004. But what kept him going? The answer is simple yet profound: doing the work. Vinny talks about the importance of continually working on oneself, whether it's building new positive habits or dismantling old destructive ones. He shares how honesty and self-love have been his cornerstones in recovery.
This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt anecdotes that highlight the chronic nature of addiction and the necessity of self-care. If you're looking for inspiration or practical tips on maintaining sobriety, Vinny's story is a must-listen.
