What used to be foreign, a life without alcohol, is now becoming the new norm.
Ever wondered how someone can find joy and sobriety during a global pandemic? Meet Ruth, who took her last drink on March 21, 2020, and shares her story in this episode of Recovery Elevator. With only 13 days of sobriety at the time of recording, Ruth's journey is both fresh and inspiring.
Paul Churchill kicks off the episode by discussing the impact of liquor stores remaining open during COVID-19 and how the quarantine has become a unique opportunity to reevaluate our lives and seek new paths to happiness. He also mentions his free guided meditations, offering a resource for those seeking calm in turbulent times. Ruth, originally from Denver but now living in Switzerland, reached out to Paul via email, sparking a conversation about living alcohol-free during such uncertain times.
Ruth realized that the pandemic could be a significant test for many people, but she chose to see it as a chance to be grateful for her decision to stop drinking. She emphasizes the importance of self-love and self-reflection in her early days of sobriety, highlighting that staying sober is a continuous journey. Ruth's story is a powerful reminder that even in challenging times, it's possible to find joy and fulfillment without alcohol.
If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on your own path to sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
