Paul Haney: Crafting a Unique Path to Sobriety
No matter what happens today, I will not drink, I will not take the first drink, and that's kept me going every day for the last nine plus years.
Paul Haney's story is a testament to the idea that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to recovery. Imagine drinking up to 36 beers a day and landing in the emergency room—this was Paul's reality before he found his way to sobriety. In this episode of The Recovery Revolution Podcast, Paul opens up about his unconventional journey. Unlike many, he didn't follow a formal recovery program like NA or AA.
Instead, he used online resources and cherry-picked elements from various programs to create a routine that worked for him. Now, with over nine years of sobriety under his belt, Paul focuses on living a life that's happy, joyous, and free. He starts each day with a positive mindset and has a steadfast rule: avoid the first drink at all costs.
Paul also touches on the perils of alcoholism and drunk driving, and the benefits of seeking professional help and joining a supportive community. His story is proof that recovery is possible for everyone, regardless of the path they choose. Tune in to hear how Paul crafted his own road to recovery and find inspiration in his resilience.
