Jan's Sobriety Story: Embracing Gratitude and Community Support
“Repressing a thought already formed will not make us a better person. Think it, let it come into reality, then release it.”
Have you ever wondered how gratitude can transform your life? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Paul Churchill chats with Jan from Connecticut, who took her last drink on February 1, 2021. Jan shares her powerful story of overcoming alcohol addiction, which began during her time in Italy and persisted for years. She opens up about the pivotal moments that led her to sobriety and how she found strength in a supportive community.
Paul also provides practical tips for navigating the holidays without alcohol, including creating a detailed craving plan and turning FOMO into JOMO (Joy of Missing Out). He encourages listeners to select an alcohol-free Thanksgiving beverage and practice mindfulness. Jan's journey underscores the importance of acceptance and allowing oneself to feel emotions fully. As she wisely notes, "Repressing a thought already formed will not make us a better person. Think it, let it come into reality, then release it".
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how gratitude and mindfulness can aid in sobriety, making it a must-listen for anyone on an alcohol-free journey.
