Breaking Free from Depression: Nick's Journey on Recovery Elevator

"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."
Ever wondered how quitting alcohol might impact your mental health? 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. Nick opens up about his life in Vancouver, his work at a university career center, and the struggles he faced before deciding to quit drinking. Through his story, you'll learn how removing alcohol can lift the heavy cloud of depression and bring anxiety levels back to normal.
Nick also shares how finding a supportive community and exploring new hobbies has given him a renewed sense of purpose and joy. Whether you're sober curious or already on your recovery journey, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement. Tune in to hear Nick's inspiring story and discover the transformative power of living in the moment.
