Fitness and Friendship: Dan Post's Journey to Sobriety

It represents a lot of what I stand for and the fact of there's people out there that this is, it's just their life. I have to do things to maintain that and that's a part of my life and I have that thing.
What if the key to recovery was as simple as lacing up your sneakers? In this episode of 'Casting Light', life coaches Dan and Debbie chat with Dan Post, a Michigan representative of The Phoenix, a national non-profit dedicated to supporting those recovering from addiction. Dan shares his unique path to sobriety and how he turned his life around through the power of community and fitness.
From coaching free exercise classes at 8th Day Gym in Grand Rapids to fostering meaningful relationships, Dan emphasizes the importance of staying active and connected. The only requirement to join Phoenix events? Just 48 hours of sobriety. The conversation also touches on the ups and downs of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, even when motivation is low, and the benefits of different types of exercise for both mental and physical health.
Dan's dedication and authenticity shine through as he discusses how he helps others find their footing in recovery. Tune in for an inspiring story about the transformative power of fitness and friendship.
