Recovery Elevator | Stop Drinking, Start Recovering. | Alcohol, Addiction & Life In Sobriety

Today we have Ryan, with over two since his last drink.  Today's Sponsor: Café RE Use the promo code CONNECT for one free month in the alcohol-free community Café RE.    If you haven't done so already, make sobriety your number one priority.  It may seem selfish to prioritize yourself over other things, but to really be present and of service to our loved ones and the community at large, we must take care of ourselves.  When we root ourselves in something real, concrete and bigger than ourselves, our daily struggles and problems often feel small by comparison.  "Everything's going to be okay as long as we don't drink."   SHOW NOTES   [9:10] Paul Introduces Ryan.
