Ever felt like your own thoughts were sabotaging your efforts to stay sober? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, hosts Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen tackle the tricky topic of the inner voice and its influence on sobriety. They’re joined by Tara, a 37-year-old from Canada who took her last drink on February 20, 2019. Tara shares how she’s learned to navigate life booze-free, despite the nagging inner voice that once tried to derail her progress.
Paul opens up about his own struggles with the inner voice during his early days of sobriety. He explains how this subconscious chatter can convince you it's okay to drink. But awareness is the first step. Paul suggests creating distance between those thoughts and the actual act of drinking, allowing space to change your thinking patterns over time. Tara’s story is a testament to the power of mindfulness and community in recovery.
She talks about how embracing activities like yoga, sound healing, and meditation has helped her build a fulfilling sober life. The episode also highlights Café RE’s annual online conference, Regionals, which offers these activities to its members. Paul and Kristopher discuss practical tips for dealing with relapse thoughts and growing emotional maturity. They emphasize replacing old habits with new, healthier ones and the importance of self-awareness in the journey towards sobriety.
Tara’s journey is both inspiring and relatable, offering hope to anyone struggling with their own inner voice. Tune in to hear how Tara and others have managed to silence their inner saboteur and embrace a better life. This episode is packed with insights and practical advice for anyone on the path to sobriety.
