I hated every drink I took, you know, and that was the beauty of the rewiring, you know.
Imagine sitting alone, watching a show about addiction while thinking, 'That's not me.' Stephen from New Jersey found himself in that exact spot. In this episode of Recovery Elevator, hosts Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen sit down with Stephen to explore his path to sobriety and the mental tricks alcohol played on him. Stephen, a father and business owner, opens up about using alcohol to manage stress and anxiety, only to find it becoming a problem he couldn't ignore.
He shares how he would watch the show Intervention while drinking alone, convinced he didn’t have a problem. Little did he know, the show was actually highlighting the very issues he was facing. One of the most striking parts of Stephen's story is how he made his young daughter his accountability partner, which played a crucial role in his recovery. He talks about the challenges of parenting while staying sober and emphasizes the importance of self-care.
Throughout the conversation, Stephen's journey offers a raw and relatable look into the highs and lows of recovery. He reminds us that life isn't as serious as our minds make it out to be, especially when we stop masking it with alcohol. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the mental battles of addiction and the power of recovery.
