Fitness became a moral good by itself and I began signing up for long distance races.
Imagine losing your driver's license and finding yourself navigating the city on a bicycle with grocery bags swinging from the handlebars. For Peter Flies, this wasn't just a minor inconvenience but a pivotal moment in his journey of addiction recovery. In this episode of 'Why Did Peter Sink?', Peter shares how this humbling experience became a turning point in his life. With his car keys taken away, Peter had to pedal his way to recovery meetings, grocery stores, and appointments.
At first, it felt like a setback, but soon he discovered a new passion for biking and running. The physical challenge of cycling through the city streets and eventually signing up for long-distance races brought a sense of accomplishment and joy that he hadn't felt in years. Peter's story isn't just about fitness; it's about finding strength in unexpected places and redefining what freedom means.
As he embraced this new lifestyle, he found himself stepping back from AA but still kept a small space for a higher power in his heart. This episode is a testament to how losing something can sometimes lead to gaining so much more. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Peter's tale of transformation through endurance sports offers inspiration and hope.
