Running for Recovery: Donald Davalos and the Back on My Feet Program

Our motto at back on my feet is: no one runs alone, and I think that's crucial, and for so many of our members they've been used to functioning alone.
Imagine battling substance use for over two decades. That's been the reality for Donald Davalos. But things took a turn when he found Back on My Feet, a national non-profit that leverages the power of running to support those in recovery. This episode dives into how exercise and community support can be game-changers in addiction recovery. You'll hear firsthand from participants who share how lacing up their running shoes has helped them stay sober and rebuild their lives.
The program's motto, 'no one runs alone', encapsulates the importance of connection and support. The episode also explores the critical link between physical and mental health and how establishing routines can be a lifeline for those in recovery. With insights from therapists and researchers, you'll get a comprehensive look at how structured exercise can aid in maintaining sobriety. Plus, organizations like Geisinger are highlighted for their prevention and treatment efforts.
Tune in to get inspired by stories of resilience and learn how something as simple as running can make a monumental difference.
