Ever wondered how a person can transform their life from the depths of addiction to achieving incredible feats? In this episode of 'The Way Out', hosts Charlie and Jason sit down with Ben Tuff, an ultra marathon swimmer who has been on a remarkable journey of long-term recovery. Ben opens up about his path to sobriety, which is captured in his documentary 'Swim Tuff: How I Swam My Way Out of a Bottle'.
The film not only chronicles his epic swim but also serves as a metaphor for his recovery journey. Ben didn't even know how to swim when he started his recovery, but through perseverance and hard work, he has now completed ultra marathon swims. This transformation mirrors the process of recovery, where learning new skills and facing challenges head-on can lead to a meaningful and fulfilling life without addictive substances.
Ben also talks about his work with Clean Ocean Access, an organization dedicated to keeping our oceans clean. His story is a testament to the power of finding purpose and passion in recovery, whether it's through swimming, walking, or any other positive activity. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and proof that recovery is not only possible but can lead to extraordinary achievements.
