What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this episode of The Way Out Podcast, Craig Maltese shares his compelling journey through addiction, shedding light on the often-stigmatized topic of sex addiction. With a background in fitness and movement, Craig reveals how these elements played a crucial role in his recovery. He candidly discusses the challenges of managing sex addiction, a subject that still carries a lot of shame and stigma, and how it intertwined with his life.
Craig's story is not just about overcoming addiction but about transforming his relationship with fitness from a self-destructive pursuit to a cornerstone of his well-being. Craig's philosophy on recovery is simple yet profound: make something of yourself where you are. This mantra has guided him to integrate movement into recovery programs, helping others to change their perspective by simply changing their physical space.

His insights into the importance of movement, humility, and the power of sharing one's story are not only inspiring but also serve as a reminder that recovery is a personal journey, unique to each individual. So, how do you make something of yourself right where you are?
