In the end, I didn't care if I failed and I didn't care if people saw me fail. Well, it's sort of a long-term investment. I've heard before that the opposite of addiction is connection, and when I'm on my add meds I isolate, I don't connect. It's been a while since I've been under the influence of alcohol and I'm going to say: nice job, Paul, but I'm ready to take the next step forward in sobriety, and it's not easy.
Starting a new year with a fresh perspective, Tricia's story in episode 150 of 'Recovery Elevator' is nothing short of inspiring. Living in Dallas, Texas, and working as a chef, Tricia found herself trapped in a cycle of planning her life around alcohol. Her journey to sobriety began when she hit rock bottom and realized that her drinking habits were taking over her life.
The feeling of hitting the one-year milestone in her sobriety was more significant than any birthday she had ever celebrated, marking a true turning point for her. Tricia compares getting sober to starting an exercise routine – there are no quick fixes, only hard work and discipline. She shares candidly about how she managed to maintain her relationships and professional life while staying sober, emphasizing the importance of altruistic relationships and support from AA.
Her story highlights the struggles and triumphs of overcoming addiction, showing that sobriety is possible with the right mindset and support system. Tune in to hear Tricia's heartfelt journey and gain insights into how you can navigate your own path to sobriety.
