Deadly Runners on navigating relationships in recovery

Content warning: Drinking alcohol; addiction; and suicide.

Deadly Runners founder Georgia Weir first tried running in 2012 to help her cope and manage her battle with mental health and addiction, and it worked. In 2013, she ran the New York marathon after six months of training. This was a life-changing experience for Georgia.

In this episode, we’ll hear from Georgia about her recovery journey, and also from her husband Michael Weir about his experience as her partner through her recovery, as well as more about the Deadly Runners grassroots movement.

You’ll also hear from Dr Chris Davis, Co-Founder & Chief Medical Officer at Clean Slate Clinic, for his clinical insights.
