The relationship between running in Denver and long-term sobriety

Ever thought a jog could teach you about staying sober? In this episode of 'LOL Sober', Nelson H. takes us on a run through Denver to uncover some unexpected lessons about addiction recovery. Picture this: Nelson, an avid runner, hops on a treadmill in the Mile-High City, expecting his usual 11-minute mile pace to be a breeze. Spoiler alert: it wasn't. The altitude difference from Connecticut to Denver hits him hard, and it’s a struggle to keep up.

But what does this have to do with sobriety? Nelson draws a fascinating parallel between the sneaky challenges of running at high altitude and the subtle hurdles of maintaining long-term sobriety. Just like the thin air in Denver, the difficulties in staying sober can sneak up on you when you least expect it. Nelson's story isn't just about running; it's a candid reflection on the vigilance required to stay sober, even when things seem steady.

With his trademark humor and heartfelt honesty, Nelson offers insights that are both entertaining and deeply relatable. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode serves as a reminder that the path to sobriety is full of unexpected twists and turns, but with the right mindset, you can keep moving forward.
