Imagine quitting drinking by starting a podcast to hold yourself accountable in the most public way possible. That's exactly what Paul Churchill did with Recovery Elevator. In episode 478, titled 'Unlocking Curiosity', Kris shares how his journey to sobriety has sparked a newfound curiosity and willingness to step out of his comfort zone. Before sobriety, Kris avoided trying new things due to a fear of failure and a need for perfection.
Now, he’s embracing hobbies like woodturning, baking, and even welding, without the pressure of being perfect. His story highlights how sobriety can open up a world of possibilities and self-discovery. Cyndi, the episode's guest, took her last drink on December 10th, 2023. She talks about the challenges and triumphs of her recovery journey. From dealing with a toxic job environment to navigating family dynamics, Cyndi’s story is both relatable and inspiring.
She discusses how outpatient rehab and family support played crucial roles in her sobriety. Her candid reflections on the ups and downs of recovery offer valuable insights for anyone on a similar path. The episode also touches on the importance of community and support networks in maintaining sobriety. Kris and Cyndi both emphasise how connecting with others who understand their struggles has been instrumental in their recovery.
Whether it's through therapy, support groups, or simply sharing experiences with friends and family, having a strong support system can make all the difference. So, why should you listen to this episode? If you're looking for real stories of resilience, practical advice, and a bit of humour along the way, 'Unlocking Curiosity' has it all.
