Spiritual Healing: A Year Without Alcohol

Episode Overview

  • Spiritual growth is not linear; expect ups and downs.
  • Sobriety must be prioritised to maintain other life values.
  • Building connections and relationships is key to recovery.
  • Embrace spiritual healing as part of the sobriety journey.
  • Use personal experiences to help others in addiction recovery.
"Sobriety is less about becoming a new person and more about unbecoming all the crap that wasn't really you."
In this captivating episode of Recovery Elevator, host Paul Churchill dives into the spiritual healing journey that unfolds in the first year after quitting alcohol. Paul, who has been sober since 2014, shares his own experiences with spirituality, emphasising that it's not about religion but about connecting with the universe and everything in it. He candidly discusses how spiritual growth is like a cosmic game of chutes and ladders, with ups and downs along the way.
Joining him is Christopher from Melbourne, Australia, who took his last drink in July 2019. Christopher opens up about his struggles with alcohol and the transformative path he's taken since quitting. He shares his insights on how sobriety has enriched his life, particularly in building meaningful relationships and finding joy in everyday moments. Christopher also talks about the importance of prioritising sobriety above all else, highlighting that without it, other aspects of life tend to fall apart.
As a budding psychologist, he hopes to use his personal experiences to help others in the addiction space. The episode offers a blend of humour and honesty, making it an engaging listen for anyone on a similar journey or supporting someone through theirs. Whether you're curious about spiritual healing or looking for a sense of camaraderie in recovery, this episode promises to deliver valuable reflections and relatable anecdotes.
So, if you're ready to explore what spiritual healing might look like in your own life or simply want to hear an inspiring story of transformation, this episode is worth your time.
