Finding Connection in Recovery: Amy's Journey to Sobriety

Meet yourself where you're at, and any effort is effort.
Ever wondered if addiction is more about connection than genetics? In this episode of 'Recovery Elevator', Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen sit down with Amy, a 39-year-old from Canada who took her last drink in 2016. They explore the idea that we're all addicted to something and how connection can be a powerful tool in overcoming addiction.
Inspired by the book 'The Urge', which tells the story of Handsome Lake from the Seneca Tribe who created a program similar to AA long before its inception, Paul shares a personal experience from a sauna where men opened up about their struggles with various addictions. This episode is packed with heartfelt discussions on mental health, recognizing internal battles, and shifting priorities. Amy's story highlights the importance of small victories and trusting one's intuition.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about sobriety, this conversation offers valuable insights and practical advice on living a fulfilling life without alcohol.
