Michael's Marathon: Sobriety and Self-Discovery in Mexico City

I know some of the old-time type motherfuckers be sayin' shit like: if I got what I deserved, I'd be dead. On A Good Day I can say to myself: enjoy these eggs.
Imagine teaching English in the bustling heart of Mexico City while navigating the ups and downs of sobriety. That's Michael's life. In this episode of Sobersplain, host Kyle Rapps sits down with Michael to chat about his unique journey. Michael shares how he swapped bar nights for marathon training and how immersing himself in local culture helped him find a new sense of belonging. But it's not all smooth sailing.
They dive into Michael's battles with body image and the unexpected challenge of auditory hallucinations. He opens up about dealing with performance anxiety and the daily grind of staying sober in a foreign land. This conversation isn't just about the struggles; it's about the triumphs too. Michael's story is a testament to the power of cultural awareness and personal growth in recovery.
