So if you're new to sobriety, you know, get moving, start moving, fill your time up with some exercise.
Imagine struggling to climb a flight of stairs without gasping for air. That was Dirk Foster's reality when he first embraced sobriety. In this episode of the 'Sober Mofos Podcast', Dirk shares his raw and relatable journey from poor health to becoming physically fit. He opens up about the harsh realities of his early days in sobriety, battling stomach pains, migraines, and sleepless nights, all while living off a diet of cheeseburgers and soda. His exercise routine?
Walking to the liquor store or running to his dealer's apartment. But Dirk knew that if he wanted to truly recover, he had to overhaul his physical health. Starting with small steps, he began walking daily, eventually progressing to weightlifting and yoga. He stresses the importance of finding an activity that gets your heart pumping and muscles working, but also something you enjoy. Dirk believes that physical fitness is a cornerstone of mental and emotional recovery.
Yoga, in particular, has been transformative for his overall well-being. For anyone in early sobriety, Dirk's message is clear: start moving, take it slow, and let physical activity become a vital part of your recovery journey. Tune in to hear more about how exercise and a healthy diet can be game-changers in your path to sobriety.
