Turning Crisis into Opportunity: Lucas' Sobriety Story
“I simply want to plant the seed that this suffering, that this crisis is leading you, it's guiding you to something better, that it's serving an underlying purpose.”
Ever wondered how a crisis can turn into an opportunity for change? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen chat with Lucas, a 32-year-old UPS driver from the DC metro area.

Despite recognizing his problem early on, his drinking escalated through his 20s and college years, impacting his life in profound ways.
