On the surface or conscious level, we believe that all we want is for us to simply let the things go that are holding us back.
Have you ever felt like letting go is easier said than done? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Patrick, who has been sober for over a decade, sits down with host Paul Churchill to share his journey from chaos to clarity. Patrick, a 37-year-old stand-up comedian and recovery coach from Brooklyn, opens up about his college years when alcohol took control of his life.
He was the unpredictable guy who'd climb buildings and take off his clothes when drunk, despite knowing the dangers and getting warnings from counselors. Patrick talks candidly about the moment he decided to turn his life around. It happened during a baseball game when he finally admitted to his friends that he needed to stop drinking. This episode goes beyond just alcohol; Patrick discusses the broader challenges in sobriety, including addiction to other substances and behaviors.
He highlights the crucial role of community support and accountability partners in maintaining sobriety. One of the most compelling parts of Patrick's story is his emphasis on the importance of letting go. He explains how holding onto negative energy and ego can hinder recovery. By releasing these burdens, he found both physical and emotional benefits that transformed his life.
Patrick also shares his work in educating college students about addiction, aiming to spread awareness and help others avoid the pitfalls he encountered. If you're looking for an inspiring story that tackles the complexities of addiction and the power of letting go, this episode is a must-listen. Patrick's journey is a testament to the strength found in community and the freedom that comes with releasing what holds us back.
