Finding Life's Meaning: Justin's Journey on Recovery Elevator
Alcohol takes more than it gives, and that there's support. That honesty made room for me to accept where I was, which in turn allowed me to get the help that I needed.
What does it mean to find the point of life, especially when you're trying to stay sober? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, hosts Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen sit down with Justin, a 37-year-old from New York, to explore this very question. Justin opens up about his struggles with alcohol and how it affected his sense of self and relationships.
He shares how he discovered a deeper purpose and the role that honesty and accountability have played in his recovery. The conversation isn't just about Justin's journey; it also touches on fun aspects like AF drink recipes curated by Kate and the NYE Sober Prom in San Diego. Plus, you'll hear about the benefits of joining REStore, a supportive community for those on their sobriety journey.
Paul also delves into the idea that the essence of most religions boils down to one thing: treating others as you wish to be treated. But what about treating yourself with that same kindness? This episode encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives and consider how they can foster more love and respect for themselves.
Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this path for a while, Justin's story and the insights shared in this episode offer valuable perspectives on living a fulfilling, booze-free life.
