Lives of the Sober, with Paul Panza

“Recovery is an inside job.” Welcome to a new series within the series - Lives of the Sober. In this series, I interview individuals who have achieved 25 or more years of sobriety. I ask them what they have done for nearly three decades to stay clean and sober, and live a healthy life. We talk about the daily practices, basic beliefs and assumptions, values, conflicts, and cautions. We talk about the role of community, contribution to the lives of others, and the ever present self-inventory. In all this, my hope is to help each recovery elder to articulate what for them is the Sober Way of Life. In today’s episode, meet Paul Panza, in recovery for 25 years, from alcohol, cocaine, and anger. Note his transition from “White Knuckling” into sustainable and thriving life. Consider his self-check-in question of, “What’s going on with me right now?” And remember this that he says, “You are worth your recovery.” On the one hand recovery is simple…but then it simply has to be practiced over time.
