Greg Studzinski's 123-Mile Journey: From Fentanyl Addiction to Community Hero

It's the people who we grew up with, or we knew in the past, who come out of the woodwork and say: yeah, I'm struggling too, and that means a lot to me what you're doing, or it's the complete total fucking strangers who you wouldn't know from Adam, who reach out to you.
What would drive someone to backpack 123 miles? For Greg Studzinski, it’s a mission born from years of battling fentanyl addiction and the mental health issues that came with it. In this episode of '40,000 Steps Radio', host Christopher Heimerman sits down with Greg to discuss his incredible journey from the depths of addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others.
Greg’s story is a testament to the power of addressing mental health head-on and finding strength in community support. He shares candidly about his multiple attempts at rehab and how he finally found lasting recovery by tackling his mental health challenges. As Greg treks from Lambeau Field to his old high school in Cudahy, he’s raising money for Street Angels, a Milwaukee non-profit dedicated to helping the homeless.
Through raw and heartfelt conversation, Greg emphasizes how vital community and vulnerability are in the recovery process. He talks about the people who’ve come out of the woodwork to support him—both old friends and complete strangers. Heimerman and Studzinski also dive into the role of exercise and peer support in maintaining sobriety. If you’re looking for inspiration or seeking insight into the power of community in overcoming addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
Tune in to hear Greg’s remarkable story and learn about resources available for those on their own recovery journey.
