Zita's Story: Conquering the Unknown in Sobriety

The hardest part about quitting drinking is not doing anything about it. Quitting drinking is the hardest thing Paul has ever done, and, it’s the best decision he’s ever made. Not quitting is harder on you than you realize.
Ever wondered what the hardest part of quitting drinking is? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, hosts Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen chat with Zita, a 31-year-old from Minnesota who took her last drink on November 27, 2021. Zita opens up about her journey to sobriety, sharing the struggles and triumphs along the way.
Paul also reflects on his own experiences, noting that while quitting alcohol was the toughest thing he's ever done, it was also the best decision of his life. The conversation highlights how addiction impacts every aspect of your life—from health to relationships—and how hitting rock bottom can sometimes be the wake-up call needed to make a change. But what if you don't have a dramatic rock bottom moment?
Paul and Zita discuss how even without those extreme lows, the inner voice telling you it's time to quit can be just as powerful. They also touch on the daunting yet exciting prospect of stepping into the unknown after quitting alcohol, filled with infinite possibilities for a better life. Tune in for an inspiring discussion that might just give you the push you need to start your own journey to sobriety.
