"Depression is when mental energies are stuck in the past, anxiety is when we are living in the future, and stress accumulates when the end goal is more important than the task at hand. Liberation from all three of these dysfunctions resides in the present moment."

In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen sit down with Nick, who has been sober for 111 days, to talk about his path to sobriety and how it has helped him combat depression, anxiety, and stress. Drawing inspiration from Rumi's words, 'These pains you feel are messengers.
Listen to them', the episode takes a deep look at how living in the present can be a powerful remedy for mental distress.
