When you hear about her story of perseverance, I think it's kind of matches up pretty closely with you making it a mile and a half and back without even starting to do the math. That just cracked me up, that she showed up and was like I don't even have the right gear, I don't even know where I'm going.
What would make someone who once saw camping as a nightmare decide to walk across America? Meet Person Irresponsible, or PI, who did just that in her fourth year of sobriety. In this episode of 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast', PI shares her incredible journey from battling addiction to conquering the Pacific Crest Trail. She was once a self-proclaimed couch potato, only venturing as far as the fridge.
But something inside her sparked the need for an extraordinary adventure. And what an adventure it was! PI faced her first mountain in Southern California, and just when things couldn’t get tougher, a global pandemic hit. Yet, she persevered, drawing on the principles she learned in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). PI's story is one of grit, humor, and unyielding determination. She talks about how twelve-step thinking helped her combat the mental demons that threatened to derail her journey.
She even wrote a book titled 'Everything You Ever Taught Me', honoring her fellow alcoholics who supported her along the way. Through hiking, PI discovered self-awareness and learned to tackle fear and anxiety head-on. Her tale is a powerful reminder that with the right mindset and support, even the most daunting challenges can be overcome. Tune in to hear PI's inspiring story and maybe even find a bit of courage for your own journey.
