RE 341: Head Into the Storm

Ever wondered what it takes to face life's toughest challenges head-on? Meet Britt, a 45-year-old from California, who shares her incredible journey to sobriety on this episode of Recovery Elevator. Britt took her last drink on November 13, 2018, and her story is nothing short of inspiring. From battling depression and agoraphobia in her teens to losing 100 pounds in her 30s, Britt's path has been anything but easy. But it's her resilience and determination that truly stand out.

In a captivating conversation with hosts Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen, Britt opens up about her struggles with alcohol, the isolation she felt, and the turning point that led her to embrace a sober life. One of the most powerful lessons she shares is inspired by the behaviour of bison. While lone bison run away from storms, packs walk through them together, shoulder to shoulder.

This metaphor for facing addiction challenges together rather than alone is a central theme in Britt's story. Britt also discusses the impact of weight loss on her sobriety and how she found strength in community support. She emphasizes the importance of in-person meetups and how meditation has become a valuable tool in her recovery. The hosts dive into the dangers of trying to tackle sobriety alone and highlight the benefits of having a supportive network.

If you're looking for an inspiring tale of resilience and the power of community, Britt's story is a must-listen. Her journey reminds us that the quickest way to weather life's storms is not by running away but by facing them head-on, together.
