The crack does not mean you are broken, it means you have room to grow.
Have you ever felt like you're trying to control everything, only to realize it's slipping through your fingers? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Chris opens up about her path to sobriety and the crucial role that control and connection played in her journey. At 46, Chris from Baltimore took her last drink on August 28, 2016, and her story is nothing short of inspiring.
Chris found herself in a relationship that led to excessive drinking and a cycle of codependency. Recognizing the need for change, she confronted her shame and sought therapy, which became pivotal in her recovery. She shares how bridging the gap between mind and body was essential in regaining control over her life. Host Paul Churchill reminds us that feeling broken isn't the end; it's an opportunity for growth.
He encourages listeners to focus less on controlling everything and more on building connections. Whether it's inviting a friend for coffee, taking a walk in nature, or volunteering, these small steps can make a significant difference. Chris's story is a testament to the power of support networks and personal commitment. With a renewed sense of responsibility and a supportive community, she has embraced her new life with gratitude.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the balance between control and connection in their sobriety journey.
