Will Black's Path: Sobriety, Psychedelics, and Self-Mastery

It takes so much conviction and courage to recognize that you have an issue, to go against the grain and to stay with it.
Imagine finding clarity and purpose halfway across the globe. That's what happened to Will Black, a self-mastery coach and owner of The Balanced Self, who embarked on his sobriety journey in Australia in April 2018. In this episode of '40,000 Steps Radio', host Christopher Heimerman sits down with Will to discuss his unique path to recovery, which includes not just quitting alcohol but also exploring the world of psychedelics.
Will shares how his struggles with anxiety and depression led him to frequent blackouts and a desperate need for change. After putting down the bottle, he didn't stop there; he ventured into the realm of ayahuasca, a powerful psychedelic brew from plants, during a ceremony in Costa Rica. While this approach might not be conventional, it highlights that everyone's recovery journey is distinct.
Throughout their conversation, Christopher and Will dive into the importance of community support, the benefits of strength training, and the transformative power of self-assuredness and self-love. They also explore the differences between therapy and coaching, the impact of love and relationships on recovery, and the vital role fitness plays in maintaining sobriety. Will's story is a testament to the courage it takes to face addiction head-on and the varied paths one can take towards healing.
Tune in for an enlightening and heartfelt discussion that underscores the message that there's no one-size-fits-all solution to recovery.
