It's great when you're trying to sell a book, like people love that stuff, but it's not really rooted in any objective reality.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around from the depths of addiction to the heights of athletic achievement? In this episode of Dopey, hosts Dave and Chris chat with Rich Roll, a legendary endurance athlete, podcaster, and author. Rich opens up about his journey from a promising swimming career that was derailed by alcoholism to becoming an Ironman and plant-powered advocate. His story is one of extremes—both in his battles with addiction and his achievements in sobriety.
Rich doesn't sugarcoat his past; he shares the gritty details of how alcohol took over his life and how he found the strength to reclaim it. Through perseverance and a focus on self-care, he transformed not just his body but his entire outlook on life. He talks about finding joy in simple pleasures like swimming in a pool or feeling the sun on his shoulders, things he once took for granted.
Rich's message is clear: recovery is possible, and it can lead to a fulfilling, healthy life. Whether you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, this episode offers a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
