Susan's Journey: Harnessing Brain Chemistry for Sobriety

The opposite of addiction is connection.
What happens when you mix science with the journey to sobriety? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, hosts Paul Churchill and Kris Oyen break down the fascinating roles of endorphins, dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin in the recovery process. These chemicals aren't just buzzwords; they are pivotal in helping your body and mind heal from alcohol dependence. They dive into how these hormones affect the parasympathetic nervous system, offering practical insights into using them to support your recovery journey.
But it’s not all science talk. Susan, a 61-year-old from Pennsylvania, joins the conversation to share her heartfelt story of living alcohol-free since November 19th, 2017. Her experience brings a personal touch to the discussion, illustrating how understanding these chemicals can make a real difference in recovery. The episode also touches on the importance of connection, therapy, and self-reflection.
Whether you're newly sober, considering quitting, or supporting someone on their journey, this episode provides a blend of scientific insight and real-life experience that could be just what you need to hear.
