Eric Rogers: From Darkness to Light Through Fitness and Recovery
“If you choose good habits instead of bad ones, choose to feel the pain and let it change you instead of running from it. I mean cause I've done some bad things and I've hurt a lot of people, and I've, just like, had to accept that it was all my fault, you know, and I took responsibility for that, and it changed me, and I said no more every day, no more, I'm not, I'm not going to go back, I'm not going to be that person.”
What happens when you hit rock bottom and decide to climb back up? Eric Rogers, the founder of Rogers Fitness Academy, knows this journey all too well. In this episode of 'Dismantled Life', hosted by Anthony Capozzoli, Eric shares his powerful story of battling addiction and finding a path to recovery. Eric's life wasn't always filled with the sunshine of sobriety. Raised in a typical middle-class family with Christian values, he found himself spiraling into anger, violence, and eventually addiction.
He isolated himself, pushing away loved ones as he descended into darkness. But hitting rock bottom was the wake-up call he needed. Eric took a holistic approach to his recovery, focusing on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. He started anew in Truckee, California, living in the woods to reflect and confront his inner demons. Through self-discipline and gratitude, he rebuilt his life piece by piece. Today, Eric is dedicated to helping others achieve their dreams through fitness and self-mastery.
His story is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of self-reflection and gratitude. If you're looking for inspiration or practical tools for recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
