Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? Dive into this episode of Recovery Elevator, where host Paul Churchill and guest Jenn share their personal stories of overcoming alcohol addiction. Jenn, who took her last drink on September 3rd, 2023, opens up about her life in Washington, D.C., her career as a civil engineer, and her journey to sobriety.
With humour and candour, she recounts the challenges she faced, including dealing with family alcoholism and the pressures of a high-stakes job. Paul discusses the concept of 'Dolce Vita' or 'The Good Life,' reflecting on his past experiences as a bar owner in Spain and the realisation that true happiness isn't found at the bottom of a wine bottle. Instead, it's about stepping away from ego-driven thoughts and embracing a life of authenticity and connection.
Jenn's story is particularly moving as she reveals her journey to understanding her true self, including her gender transition. Her candidness about the struggles and triumphs of living an alcohol-free life is both inspiring and educational. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own paths to sobriety and the importance of community in recovery. Whether you're looking for motivation or simply curious about the transformative power of quitting alcohol, this episode offers valuable insights.
