I think that's the theme of someone who's sober is, you're just consistent when I was drinking, you know, like I could be totally fine for a long time and then there would just be an episode or it would be another episode.
Imagine finding solace and strength in the rhythm of your own footsteps. For Luc Zoratto, a Canadian hobby athlete, running became more than just a sport; it became a lifeline. In this episode of 'Doing It Sober with Daniella Park', Luc opens up about his battle with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and how lacing up his running shoes helped him reclaim his life. Luc's journey to sobriety began in 2016 after years of struggling with alcohol.
He speaks candidly about the moments that led him to seek help and the hurdles he faced along the way. One of the biggest challenges was navigating his relationship with his partner, who still drinks. Luc emphasizes the importance of honest communication and setting boundaries to maintain his sobriety. Running played a pivotal role in Luc's recovery. It became a therapeutic outlet that helped him manage his mental health and cope with the stressors of everyday life.
Luc shares how the discipline and consistency required in running mirrored the dedication needed for his sobriety. He also talks about the sense of community he found in both the sober and running communities, which provided him with unwavering support and understanding. Beyond personal healing, Luc has taken his passion for running a step further by creating a safe space for men in recovery through his running group.
This initiative not only fosters physical fitness but also offers a supportive environment where men can share their experiences and struggles without judgment. Luc's story is a testament to the power of finding what works for you in recovery. His journey underscores the significance of community, consistency, and self-discovery. If you're looking for inspiration or practical advice on overcoming addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
Tune in to hear Luc's compelling story and discover how running can be more than just exercise—it can be a path to a healthier, sober life.
