Michelle Lloyd: Scaling New Heights in Addiction Recovery
“Action is the number one tool we have to combat addiction.”
Picture a snowy afternoon, a cozy living room, and a conversation that could change lives. That’s the backdrop for this episode of 'Stepping into Sobriety', where host Mike and his wife Becky sit down with Michelle Lloyd, a climber and addiction recovery advocate. Michelle opens up about her personal battle with addiction and how she found solace and strength in the great outdoors, particularly through climbing.
She talks about the transformative power of taking action and pushing personal boundaries to aid in recovery. Michelle also highlights the mental health benefits of climbing, from boosting mood to reducing anxiety, and stresses the importance of diversity within the climbing community. Her work with The Phoenix, an organization that offers free fitness activities to those in recovery, is another focal point. Michelle cautions against performative spirituality in recovery, urging listeners to take concrete steps towards their own healing journey.
If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on overcoming addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
