I think that being open and transparent about what you do know and what you don't know is good and asking for what you need during that experience.
Ever thought rock climbing could be more than just a sport? In this episode of the Uncovering Happiness Podcast, hosts Kera and Bill W chat with Michael, a filmmaker and someone who's been in long-term recovery. Michael's film, 'Rock-A-Holic', is a powerful testament to how rock climbing saved the lives of three addicts. Through his lens, we get a peek into the world of climbing meetups in Portland, Oregon, and how these gatherings are more than just physical challenges—they're lifelines.
Michael shares how climbing parallels the recovery journey, teaching vital lessons about boundaries, decision-making, and transparency. Kera and Bill W, who transformed their friendship into a romantic partnership while conquering their own addictions, bring their unique perspective to the conversation. Their story is one of adventure and self-discovery, proving that life after addiction can be filled with joy and purpose. Tune in to hear how climbing can foster community, build resilience, and ultimately lead to happiness.
