Founding Fathers and Sobriety: A Unique Blend of History and Healing

As it turns out, booze is pretty essential to convincing people to run off and fight a war. However, George Washington is quoted saying an aching head and trembling limbs, which are inevitable effects of drinking, disincline the hands from work.
Ever wondered how alcohol influenced the early days of America? In this intriguing episode of Recovery Elevator, host Paul Churchill dives into the drinking habits of the Founding Fathers, inspired by an article from The Influence. But this episode isn't just a historical deep dive. It's also a heartfelt journey into modern-day sobriety with guest Barb, who opens up about her path to 15 days of sobriety and the hurdles she faced along the way.
Barb's story is a testament to the power of accountability and community in the recovery process. Paul and his team emphasize the importance of building a supportive network to help navigate the challenges of addiction. Through candid conversations and shared experiences, this episode offers both historical insights and practical advice for anyone on their sobriety journey. Tune in to discover how the past can inform our present efforts to lead a fulfilling, alcohol-free life.
