Matt's Sobriety Journey: Embracing the Path of Least Resistance

Sobriety is the path of least resistance. Moderation was miserable, and drinking is killing me.
Imagine waking up every day feeling trapped in a cycle of moderation that leaves you exhausted and unfulfilled. In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Matt, a 40-year-old from Edmonton, Canada, opens up about his journey to sobriety, which began on April 8, 2019. He shares how the concept of the 'path of least resistance' became his guiding light in ditching alcohol for good. Moderation, as Matt and host Paul Churchill discuss, often leads to decision fatigue and only partial healing.
For Matt, it was a miserable experience that only prolonged his suffering. By choosing sobriety, he found a way to truly heal and transform his life. Matt also delves into how addiction can ripple through families and the importance of finding authenticity in recovery. He touches on his exploration of sound therapy and plant medicine, highlighting how these practices have influenced his mindset and well-being.
The episode is a heartfelt conversation about the struggles and triumphs of living alcohol-free, offering practical advice and inspiration for anyone on a similar path. Tune in to hear Matt's story and discover how embracing the path of least resistance can lead to a fulfilling, booze-free life.
