For me, sobriety is not just about ditching the booze... In that definition, success may mean money to some and peace of mind to others.
Ever wondered what it means to truly redefine success in recovery? In this episode of 'Recovery Elevator', Stephanie from Pennsylvania shares her deeply personal journey to sobriety. Taking her last drink on January 2, 2020, Stephanie opens up about the phases of recovery and how she found her own meaning in the process. With ten years of sobriety under her belt, Stephanie realized she had never truly asked herself what recovery meant to her.
She talks about how she enjoyed counting days and celebrating milestones, but also faced the fear of failure that many in recovery experience. Relapse was part of her journey, and she candidly discusses the common reasons behind it, such as depression, perfectionism, and shame. Stephanie's story is one of perseverance and self-discovery. She emphasizes the importance of defining sobriety for oneself and staying committed even when things get tough.
Throughout her journey, she found that quitting smoking and taking up running were significant steps in her personal growth. Community support played a crucial role in her recovery, helping her overcome fear and shame. Stephanie also touches on how she managed to incorporate her recovery into her career goals, showing that sobriety can lead to a fulfilling life.
Join hosts Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen as they explore these themes with Stephanie, offering insights and inspiration for anyone on their own path to sobriety.
