Community

It's important that we surround ourselves with like minded people. Connecting with others has proven to be crucial to our sanity and positive thinking. When we can share similar experiences or interests, or come together with a common goal, its easier to let down our guard and establish that connection. This is the foundation for a community and without it, we're often left to our own negative behaviors.

It's hard to say where we would be without the recovery community. In this episode the boys are joined by Bret F. who not only works with newcomers at a treatment facility but is also a Sober Rider. Hear him talk about what it was like stepping into the world of recovery almost 20 years ago after facing a long prison term and what it's like in the Sober Riders Motorcycle club community. We're honored to have him at the table.

This week's warstory comes to us from Patrick who with us what it was like to consciously go back out after a period of abstinence from meth. His journey has been a crazy one so buckle up and prepare for a roller coaster! Hear how he found a fitness community that contributed largely to his success and how he has added it to his toolbox in order to stay and the path of least resistance and maintain his sobriety.

You can learn more about Patrick's story and see him continue his journey by following him on Instagram at @patrickswayz817.
