Charlie Engle's 30-Year Sobriety Milestone: Running for Recovery and Hope
“So it's about trying to find a way to find joy in physical movement. So there's there's all kinds of ways to find this, and mostly I just encourage people to The Weekend Of The 23rd And The 24th: either honor your own sobriety or the sobriety of a loved one or a friend.”
Imagine celebrating 30 years of sobriety by running for 30 continuous hours. That's exactly what Charlie Engle is doing with his event, 'The Penguin', set to take place at the Ashley Addiction Treatment Center in Maryland. In this episode of 'Recovery Is Possible', host Michael Van Meter chats with Charlie about his incredible journey of three decades without alcohol.
But it's not just about running; it's about raising funds for scholarships and research, and shining a light on addiction and mental health issues that affect so many. Charlie opens up about how movement has been a cornerstone in his recovery, and how it can be a powerful tool for others too. They also dive into the challenges faced by first responders dealing with addiction and mental health issues, and discuss ways to integrate treatment into the criminal justice system.
If you're looking for inspiration, hope, or just a fascinating story of resilience, this episode is a must-listen.
