So where I heard your interview, your story before- I don't know if I actually mentioned this to you, but where I originally heard your story was actually on the junk miles podcast podcast, when you did a long run episode with Sam on there, and I love it. But I told him it's something I want to get better about as well.
What happens when you hit rock bottom and then find a way to climb back up, stronger than ever? That's the essence of Wilson's story on Staying Fit ODAAT. Hosted by Miguel Reyes, this episode dives into Wilson's journey from the depths of addiction to becoming a beacon of hope and fitness for others. Wilson, a business owner, father, husband, and athlete, had his life turned upside down by drinking and drugs.
At a young age, he won over $2 million on a slot machine, only to lose it all in a short span. But his story doesn't end in despair. Instead, Wilson found a lifeline in the Lift Heavy Run Long Program, which not only helped him get back on track but also inspired him to co-create the LHRL podcast.
In his conversation with Miguel, Wilson opens up about the darkest moments of his life and how the fitness community played a pivotal role in his recovery. He talks about the power of vulnerability and the importance of support systems in overcoming addiction. His goal to deadlift double his body weight is just one example of how fitness has become a cornerstone of his sobriety.
One of the most striking aspects of Wilson's story is his candid discussion about the stigma surrounding addiction. He emphasizes the need for open conversations and finding a supportive community, whether it's through Crossfit, step meetings, or even book clubs. Wilson's journey is a testament to the transformative power of fitness and community in the battle against addiction. His story is not just inspiring; it's a call to action for anyone struggling with similar issues.
