Defining Sobriety with Cyndi: A Journey of Rediscovery on Recovery Elevator

Recovery is recovering the person you were meant to be or is the most authentic version of yourself.
What does it mean to truly define your sobriety? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, hosts Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen sit down with Cyndi from California to explore this very question. Cyndi, who took her last drink on July 1, 2021, shares her personal journey from a teenage love affair with alcohol to a life of sobriety.
She talks about the ups and downs, including how her drinking escalated after marriage and the challenges she faced in finding effective treatment. Paul emphasizes that recovery is about becoming the most authentic version of yourself. It's not a task to be checked off a list but an ongoing journey of self-discovery and growth. He encourages listeners to define their own success in recovery, stressing the importance of knowing your 'why' and writing it down.
Loving and accepting yourself should be at the top of that list. Cyndi discusses her experiences with various recovery programs and the importance of finding what works for you. She highlights the significance of community support and being okay with asking for help. The episode also touches on practical advice for safeguarding one's sobriety, overcoming relapses, and staying actively engaged in the recovery process.
Whether you're newly sober, sober-curious, or supporting someone on their journey, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement. Tune in to hear Cyndi's story and get inspired to define your own path to a booze-free life.
