Santino's Fresh Start: Love and Sobriety on Recovery Elevator

When you quit drinking, do the inner work, the ripple effect can last 150 years. Eckhart Tolle defines love as recognizing oneness in a world of duality. The ego craves separation, judgements. When we are drinking, we are reinforcing that divide.
Have you ever wondered what life could look like just 43 days into sobriety? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, hosts Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen sit down with Santino, a 43-year-old from Massachusetts, who recently embarked on his journey to quit drinking. Santino opens up about the early days of his sobriety and the unexpected joys he's already discovered, including a renewed sense of connection and love.
Paul shares an intriguing idea that our actions can impact our lineage for seven generations. Imagine the ripple effect of choosing sobriety today! They dive into how alcohol fosters isolation and how stepping away from it can help us reconnect with ourselves and others. The conversation also touches on the challenges faced by those in the military dealing with alcoholism, emphasizing the importance of being present and genuine in recovery.
Santino and Paul explore how love can manifest in various forms during sobriety, whether it's rediscovering nature, picking up an old hobby, or simply laughing more. The episode wraps up with a heartfelt musical piece from Café Re member Ron, adding a touch of community spirit to the discussion. This episode is a warm, insightful look at the early stages of sobriety and the potential for love and connection in a booze-free life.
