The opposite of addiction is connection. Paul shares that reality is a mirror reflecting your inner world. The most important connection we have is the connection we have with ourselves. If we don’t love, treat ourselves with respect or stand up for ourselves, that will appear in our outer world.
Ever wondered how connecting with yourself can change your life? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Paul Churchill kicks off with a heartfelt Valentine's Day message, reminding us that the opposite of addiction is connection. He dives into the idea that our external world mirrors our internal state, stressing the importance of self-love and respect.
Paul suggests a balanced approach: spending equal time nurturing your inner self through activities like meditation and journaling, and connecting externally with family or support groups. Meet Joshua, a 36-year-old optician from North Carolina who last had a drink on October 31, 2020. Joshua's journey to sobriety wasn't driven by 'shoulds' but by focusing on what he truly wanted from life. He shares how shifting his mindset and embracing gratitude and self-love played pivotal roles in his recovery.
Joshua also discusses the benefits of sobriety on mental health and relationships, and how challenging all-or-nothing thinking helped him move forward. This episode is packed with practical advice and personal stories that highlight the power of connection in recovery. Whether you're sober curious, newly sober, or supporting someone on their journey, Joshua's story offers valuable insights and encouragement.
