For anyone listening, if you want a complete overhaul on your thinking process, service is the key.
What does it take to turn personal struggles into a beacon of hope for others? In this engaging episode of the School of Addiction Recovery (SOAR) podcast, Dustin and Frank sit down with Ian Acker, the founder of Fit to Recover (FTR) gym. Ian shares his compelling journey from battling addiction to creating a supportive community dedicated to recovery.
He dives into the concept of 'Owning It'—taking responsibility for one's life, decisions, and anxieties—and how this mindset has been crucial in his own recovery process. But it's not just about personal accountability; Ian also opens up about the hurdles he faced in starting and running FTR Gym. He highlights the gym's four pillars: nutrition, exercise, service, and art, explaining how each plays a vital role in fostering a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
The conversation also touches on the power of community support and the transformative impact of service. Ian leaves listeners with a Weekly Challenge: Self Appreciation, encouraging everyone to jot down three things they appreciate about themselves each day. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and practical advice on living a fulfilling life in recovery. So, grab your headphones and get ready to be inspired by Ian's story of resilience and community-building.
