Let's face it. Recovery is work. Whether you're newly sober or finally doing something about your compulsive overeating, there is no doubt that the road ahead will be challenging. But you know what else is hard? An alcoholic still in the disease. Or someone who struggles with food navigating life in an oversized body. If we're lucky, we'll get to choose which path we take.
Our topic, "choose your hard," is inspired by this week's warstory from RC Thurston. RC was athletic when he was young and got away with pretty much eating whatever he wanted. But later, when the pressures that can accompany adulthood weighed him down, he turned to food to cope. Now, he has found the courage to submit to the help that is being offered, and finally take getting healthy seriously. His life depends on it.
Tune in to to hear an incredible story from RC about compulsive eating.
Thank you, RC, for sharing your story!
