Recovery Elevator, episode 9.

You know, I'd have a day off for my job.

You get up in the morning and start having a beer at 10, 10, 30 in the morning.

Welcome to the Recovery Elevator Podcast. My name is Paul. Thank you so much for joining us.

According to my Recovery Elevator sobriety app available on iTunes and the Google Play platforms. I have been sober seven months, one week, seven hours, three minutes and 45 seconds.

In today's podcast, I'm going to discuss six ways to start taking action before you really start taking action in an early sobriety.

What this basically means is before you can start working and giving your time for a 12-step program or volunteering, you first have to meet a good physical and mental state yourself before you can apply yourself to really taking action with helping others.

I also have Tom on the podcast podcast who is my new sobriety

accountability partner because he has four more days of sobriety than myself and I am a

competitive guy but that's a race I don't want to win.

Tom I hope you always have four more days sobriety than I do.

Remember that one guy who says you need to get outside your comfort zone in drinking

and a relapse happens way before you take that first drink.

Yeah, that's this guy. At the end of this podcast after the interview I'll tell you about my

almost near relapse where I was way too far outside my comfort zone.

But first let's take some action. In case of an emergency, place oxygen mask on yourself before placing on young ones next to you.

I'd always wondered about that why not put the oxygen mask on the kid or your child

next to you before yourself? Well that's the same thing in early recovery.

I've always heard, take action.

You know, and what does that mean?

Start a non-profit?

Start kickboxing?
