Miguel Reyes: Running Towards Recovery - Episode 21 of 40,000 Steps Radio

I think that if you work in the program right, your knee-jerk reaction is: oh my gosh, this guy's new. But while I was sharing...I realized, not only did you say you're an alcoholic, but you just told all these stories.
Imagine hitting rock bottom and finding your way back through the power of family, faith, and fitness. That's exactly what Miguel 'Migs' Reyes did, and in this episode of 40,000 Steps Radio, he shares his incredible journey with host Christopher Heimerman. Migs takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride through his past, including a drug deal gone wrong and some run-ins with the law that didn't quite go as planned.
But the most pivotal moment came when he looked into his newborn's eyes and decided it was time to get clean for good. He didn't just stop there; Migs turned to running as a key part of his recovery plan. Even when a broken ankle threatened to derail him, he found a way to keep his spirits high by creating the online community Staying Fit ODAAT.
This Facebook group has grown to 650 members and even inspired a podcast by the same name. In this heartfelt conversation, Migs talks about how fitness has been a cornerstone of his sobriety, alongside his unwavering faith and the support of his family. He also emphasizes the importance of community and sharing personal stories in the recovery process.
If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on how to incorporate fitness into your own recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
