Sobriety has given me that in spades, in terms of all the relationships that if they hadn't completely fallen off the cliff, we're like teetering on the edge until I finally, until I finally got myself right, let alone the new relationships, not just with other people in recovery, which is a whole nother incredible gift, but the relationships that you can have in normal life.
Ever wondered what it's like to conquer both addiction and some of the world's toughest marathons? Meet Pam Rickard, an ultrarunner who's not only tackled more than 100 marathons and ultra-marathons but has also run across the Gobi Desert and the United States. In this episode of '40,000 Steps Radio', host Christopher Heimerman sits down with Pam to explore her incredible journey of recovery and resilience.
With 15 years of sobriety under her belt, Pam radiates gratitude and joy, often calling herself 'obnoxiously optimistic'. But her story isn't just about running; it's about thriving in sobriety and making a difference. Through her work with Herren Project, Pam has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to provide access to treatment and counseling for those struggling with addiction.
She shares simple yet powerful mantras like 'Grow some good today' and 'Do the next right thing', offering listeners a roadmap for their own journeys. Whether you're an athlete, someone in recovery, or simply looking for inspiration, Pam's story is a testament to the power of perseverance and positivity.
