Finding Strength in Sobriety: Meegan's Journey on Recovery Elevator

I did fail, but I made a comeback, and you can too. All you need to know is a couple of chords and strumming patterns. Choosing to live an alcohol-free life is actually my favorite thing about myself, and I'm very proud of that.
What happens when addiction cracks you open? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, hosts Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen sit down with Meegan, a Family Nurse Practitioner from Georgia, who took her last drink on April 21, 2019. Meegan's story is one of resilience and transformation. Growing up with a happy childhood that was later marred by her parents' tumultuous divorce, she found herself battling addiction. But rather than letting it define her, Meegan chose to fight back.
She found solace in therapy and running, activities that became her anchors in the stormy seas of recovery. One of the key messages from this episode is the importance of finding a recovery method that resonates with you. Paul encourages listeners to revisit the tools and messages they encountered early in their sobriety journey, as they often hold new lessons when viewed through the lens of experience.
Meegan shares how she handles triggers and tough situations, emphasizing that choosing to live alcohol-free is an act of rebellion against the grip of addiction. She also highlights the joy and strength she found in being part of a supportive community. If you're seeking inspiration to start or continue your own journey towards an alcohol-free life, Meegan's story offers a beacon of hope. Tune in to hear her candid conversation and discover practical advice on navigating sobriety.
