"The iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found".
In this episode of the SOAR podcast, Dustin Hawkins and Frankie Day dive into the concept of becoming a 'searcher' in the journey of addiction recovery. The hosts share their thoughts on replacing harmful habits with healthier ones, focusing on fitness, nutrition, and spirituality. Dustin passionately discusses the importance of finding joy and purpose in activities like weightlifting, which can transform not just your body but also your mindset.
He shares anecdotes about how lifting weights, particularly mastering the back squat, can boost confidence and create a sense of athleticism that was previously missing. The episode takes a deep dive into how exercise can serve as a powerful tool for mental clarity, with Dustin recounting personal experiences of hill sprints that clear his mind and set him on a path of gratitude.
The discussion expands into exploring hobbies that can be enjoyed sober, such as skiing or mountain biking, which can lead to spiritual growth and happiness. Nutrition also plays a pivotal role in the conversation, with practical advice to eat more protein and prepare meals at home. Dustin's enthusiasm for cooking is infectious as he describes the simple joy of making breakfast as a form of spiritual work.
Music, too, is highlighted as a source of upliftment and nostalgia that can change one's mood and thinking patterns. By creating a playlist filled with uplifting tunes, Dustin suggests you can find hope and inspiration even in the darkest times. If you're searching for ways to replace addiction with positive habits, this episode offers a heartfelt guide filled with humour and empathy. It's a call to action for anyone looking to embrace a healthier lifestyle.
