Embracing Boredom: Joel's Path to Sobriety on Recovery Elevator

Boredom is the invitation for you to be open to whatever wants to come your way in an alcohol-free life.
Can boredom actually be a good thing? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, hosts Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen chat with Joel, a 42-year-old from Lawton, OK, who took his last drink on November 28, 2022. Joel opens up about his struggles with depression and anxiety in early sobriety and how he discovered that boredom could be a gateway to creativity and personal growth.
Paul highlights how our society often makes us feel inadequate if we're not constantly entertained, but Joel's story shows that stepping away from alcohol can open up a world of possibilities. By developing routines and finding support within the alcohol-free community, Joel found new ways to cope and thrive. This episode is a refreshing look at how embracing boredom can lead to a richer, more fulfilling life without alcohol.
