Brain Boost: How Quitting Alcohol Transforms Your Mind

When you're ready to surrender, there's going to be at least one person who's ready to help you and really take you to the place you need to go to get well.
Ever wondered what really happens in your brain when you stop drinking? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Paul Churchill chats with Greg, who took his last drink on October 2, 2012. Greg, an actor from Orange County, CA, opens up about his journey to sobriety and the mental shifts that came with it. Paul breaks down the science behind these changes, explaining how neural connections that once craved alcohol start to weaken, making room for healthier habits.
This episode isn't just about the brain's transformation; it's also a candid look at Greg's life in Hollywood and the challenges he faced while staying sober. They touch on the dangers of quitting cold turkey and the importance of proper nutrition in recovery. Whether you're curious about the mental benefits of sobriety or looking for practical advice, this episode offers a mix of science and personal stories that might just inspire you to rethink your relationship with alcohol.
