If anybody listening identifies themselves and they feel like that is the community for them, then definitely please come join us. One Day at a time, one mile at a time for anybody in the racing community, in the running community, sucked for us because all of our live races were canceled.
Imagine growing up in a household where alcohol and drugs are part of the daily routine, yet vowing never to touch a drop. That's the story of Migs, who joins host Dora Gosselin on this episode of the Soberoso Podcast. Migs shares his journey from a childhood overshadowed by substance abuse to his own struggles with addiction, sparked by legal troubles at 21. Despite his early aversion to alcohol, Migs found himself spiraling into the same patterns he once despised.
In this heartfelt conversation, Migs opens up about how his decision to embrace sobriety has impacted not just his life, but also the dynamics within his family. He and Dora dive deep into the challenges of staying sober, especially during tough times like a pandemic. They discuss the crucial role that community and support play in recovery, emphasizing that no one should have to walk this path alone. Fitness and running have become pillars in Migs' recovery journey.
He talks about how these activities provide a sense of purpose and a healthy outlet for stress. As Migs puts it, 'One day at a time, one mile at a time.' His story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the positive ripple effects sobriety can have on loved ones. Whether you're someone struggling with addiction, a family member trying to understand the journey, or simply sober-curious, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.
