Exercise is not the easier, softer way, and if you take even addiction out of it, people don't like to do it. Right, you're right, it is uncomfortable.
Ever thought about how breaking a sweat can help break free from addiction? In this episode of RECOVERY CAST, Pawley sits down with Dalton Witt, who holds a BS and is a Certified Chemical Dependency Counselor Assistant II, to chat about the powerful role exercise plays in the journey to sobriety. Dalton opens up about his own struggles with addiction and how fitness became a cornerstone in his recovery plan.
They dive into the science behind the exercise-induced 'flow state', a mental zone where you're fully immersed and performing at your best, and how this can be a game-changer for those battling addiction. Dalton also highlights the importance of community support in sticking to a fitness routine, sharing that it's not just about lifting weights or running miles—it's about building connections and finding a supportive tribe.
He doesn't sugarcoat it; exercise isn't the easy way out, but it's a crucial piece of the puzzle for many in recovery. If you're looking for ways to boost your mental and physical health while staying sober, this episode offers practical advice and inspiring stories. Tune in to hear how exercise can transform your recovery journey.
