The opposite of addiction is connection... Addiction disconnects us from the external world and from within. Paul reminds us we are not alone: we are connected to every living on the planet.
What happens when you blend spirituality, near-death experiences, and the quest for sobriety? This episode of Recovery Elevator dives right into that mix. Meet Pat, a 38-year-old from Georgia, who shares his journey of quitting alcohol on February 22, 2022. Pat’s story is one of resilience, having grown up as a military child and moving around frequently. He found solace in activities like archery and playing the guitar, but alcohol was a constant shadow in his life.
From his first experiments with booze at 15 to a DUI in college, Pat's relationship with alcohol was anything but smooth. Yet, he decided to take control and set non-negotiables to maintain his sobriety. Paul Churchill, the host, delves into the profound impact of connection and spirituality in overcoming addiction. He shares how near-death experiences can open doors to higher powers and foster a sense of belonging.
This episode isn’t just about Pat’s journey; it’s about understanding that addiction disconnects us from the world and ourselves. By reconnecting with love, inclusivity, and wholeness, we can pave the way to a fulfilling alcohol-free life. Whether you’re seeking sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and tools for living without alcohol.
