I would say that the life that is possible for you is beyond your ability to see at this point, because you have blinders that come up from the life that you lived and the life that you've lived with a substance, just like any disease.
Ever thought about how running could play a role in overcoming addiction? In this episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast, Duane Osterlind chats with Mike Grant, who transformed his life from addiction to recovery with the help of running. Mike, a licensed clinical social worker and an ultra-marathon enthusiast, shares his compelling story of battling addiction and finding a new path through the power of grit and perseverance.
He opens up about his early struggles with anger and alcohol, starting at just 13 years old, and how these issues stunted his emotional growth. His journey includes multiple DUI offenses and the realization that his actions could negatively impact his son. This was the wake-up call Mike needed to change his life. He found solace in running, which became a therapeutic tool for him and others in his local running club for people in recovery.
Throughout the conversation, Mike emphasizes the importance of seeking help and breaking free from limiting beliefs. He reminds us that it's never too late to turn your life around and that the future holds more possibilities than we can imagine. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on overcoming addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
