It's a fool's errand to use the thinking mind to solve a drinking problem, but you can use it to start visualizing your new life.
Picture this: You're trying to cut back on alcohol, but the temptation seems to lurk around every corner. In this episode of Recovery Elevator, host Paul Churchill chats with Jenn, who has been living alcohol-free since April 10, 2020. At 34, Jenn shares her transformative journey from Michigan, diving into the nitty-gritty of what it takes to say no to alcohol and build a better life.
Paul opens the conversation by tackling a common misconception in the sobriety world: that one slip-up means failure. He emphasizes that continuous sobriety is the goal, but relapses can be part of the process. If you're drinking less than you did last year, that's progress worth celebrating. Jenn's story is a testament to this. She talks about how she compartmentalized her addiction and learned to recognize and address her 'wobbles' in recovery. One key takeaway? The power of visualization.
Both Jenn and Paul highlight how imagining a life without alcohol can help create mental distance from negative thoughts. They also stress the importance of sharing your journey and finding accountability partners. So, if you're struggling to say no to that next drink, this episode offers practical tips and heartfelt advice to help you stay on track.
