If you can put the bottle down and fight through that, then I guess it doesn't surprise me that you can tolerate the bullshit that you got to do to do an ultra marathon in August, because once you get in sobriety, everything else is just fuck it.
Paul L. knows firsthand the chaos addiction can bring. His story, much like many others, is marked by DUIs, job loss due to drinking, and strained relationships. But when Paul hit rock bottom, he found a way out through fitness, particularly boxing. In this episode of 'Staying Fit ODAAT', Paul opens up about his journey from the depths of addiction to the heights of sobriety, all thanks to the discipline and focus that boxing provided.
Paul didn't just stop at saving himself; he created Recovery Fit, a fitness program specifically designed for those in recovery. Through this initiative, he's helping others find their own paths to sobriety. He shares how exercise not only improved his physical health but also boosted his mental well-being by releasing endorphins and reducing stress. Paul also highlights the crucial role of support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in his recovery journey.
Writing, another key tool for Paul, helped him identify and manage his triggers. Despite facing numerous challenges, including a hernia and the COVID-19 pandemic, Paul's resilience and commitment to fitness never wavered. He emphasizes the importance of setting realistic goals and maintaining a positive mindset. Paul's story is a powerful reminder that with the right tools and support, recovery is possible.
Tune in to hear Paul's inspiring journey and learn how fitness can be a cornerstone in the battle against addiction.
