One thing I firmly believe is that all emotions are created equal.
Have you ever wondered if you could actually be grateful for your struggle with alcohol? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Paul Churchill introduces us to Lisa, a 65-year-old from Atlanta, GA, who took her last drink on November 17, 2022. Lisa opens up about her journey to sobriety and how she has come to embrace the term 'grateful alcoholic'. But what does that even mean?
Lisa explains it's not about being thankful for the addiction itself but for the lessons learned and the new life that comes with overcoming it. Throughout the episode, she shares the ups and downs of her recovery process, highlighting the importance of a supportive community like AA and the sober community. She discusses how crucial it is to develop coping skills and recognize when it's time to quit drinking.
Lisa also gives us a glimpse into her daily routine, which includes exercise, watching Netflix, and giving back to others. Her story is a testament to the power of resilience and finding joy in unexpected places. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on sobriety, Lisa's story is one you won't want to miss.
