I hope you’ll hear these stories and realize that you can choose to live whatever kind of life you want and if alcohol is making your life worse, it’s ok to decide to stop.
Tune in every Tuesday to hear how life doesn't end after you break up with alcohol. There is life beyond the bottle and it's a life worth living.

Addiction and Recovery Podcasts: Recovery Elevator

It isn't a NO to alcohol, but a YES to a better life! Best-selling author Paul Churchill, along with Kristopher Oyen interview people who have stepped away from alcohol in their own lives.
Of course, we do a podcast, but they also bring like-minded individuals together, particularly in early sobriety, who seek a better life without alcohol through support and accountability.
Some members of the private groups have years of continuous sobriety, while others are only days away from their last drink, we are all striving for better quality of life without alcohol.
Stopping drinking is the first part, of course, then we learn how to embrace a life without alcohol. Eventually, they returned to the point in our life when we were happy without alcohol. Imagine going to a party, wedding, concert, or other social event and not needing alcohol to enjoy yourself. This is not an overnight process, yet once achieved, it is the most liberating feeling in the world.
We invite you to join us on the path to wellness and sobriety.
Shortly after episode 20 of the Recovery Elevator podcast, the goal and direction became clear; it’s time to shred the shame. Alcoholism is a disease and alcohol is one of the most addictive and dangerous drugs on the planet. It’s time to start talking about this.
