What has changed about recovery, sobriety, and alcohol over the last decade?

In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, Shane Ramer sits down with Paul Churchill, founder and host of the Recovery Elevator Podcast, for a conversation that has been more than ten years in the making.

Shane and Paul both launched their podcasts in the early days of the modern sobriety movement and have spent years talking with thousands of people navigating their relationship with alcohol. In this episode, they reflect on how the recovery landscape has evolved, what they've learned from their audiences, and why more people than ever are questioning alcohol's role in their lives.

Together, they tackle some of the biggest debates in recovery today, including identity, labels, moderation, the sober curious movement, and whether people need to hit rock bottom before making a change.

They also discuss the common struggles men face when trying to quit drinking, the excuses that keep people stuck, and why so many smart, successful people continue drinking even when they know it's holding them back.

In this episode:

• How the sobriety and recovery movement has changed over the last decade • The rise of the sober curious movement • Do people still need to identify as alcoholics? • Can some people successfully moderate their drinking? • The biggest lies people tell themselves about alcohol • Why successful people continue drinking despite the consequences • What keeps people stuck longer than necessary • Lessons learned from thousands of conversations about recovery and personal growth • Where the future of sobriety may be headed

Whether you're sober curious, alcohol free, in long term recovery, or simply questioning your relationship with alcohol, this conversation offers practical insights, honest reflections, and plenty of thought provoking discussion.
