If I'm hurting other people, it's like you said in your video The Other Day about if you take care of your recovery, your program, and you feel motivated and you feel good, everyone else stands to benefit.
Imagine waking up upside down in a truck, in nothing but your underwear, and realizing it's time for a change. That's a glimpse into Martin Parker's life. In this episode of '40,000 Steps Radio', host Christopher Heimerman chats with Martin, a former addict who faced the double whammy of addiction and a Parkinson's diagnosis.
Both men share a history of using alcohol to fit in, but Martin's story takes a unique turn with his battle against Parkinson's while still grappling with addiction. Despite these challenges, Martin has emerged as an advocate and inspirational speaker, winning awards for his powerful speeches. He opens up about his journey to sobriety, the impact on his role as a father, and the importance of self-awareness.
This conversation is filled with raw honesty and a touch of humor, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking hope and resilience in the face of life's toughest battles.
