Ran a half-marathon this morning. Running/fitness is a HUGE component of my sobriety. It’s been over a decade since I ran in my last race, it felt wonderful to be back out there.

Awesome! Me too. Just got through a 7 mile training run yesterday. Impossible to even think about 4-5 months ago

You really should consider it. It’s such a tremendous piece of my sobriety, one of my “magic bullets” for staying sober.

I agree, I had almost a year and relapsed on New Years Eve. Last year right now I was back up to easy 5ks and hitting 10k. Thanks Brad. I'm going to do it today!

If you all want to consider a sober running group, I think the Phoenix uses Strava. You can download the Phoenix app for other active sober events near you as well.

Cool! There’s a local running group here called RADD (Runners Against Destructive Decisions), for people in recovery.
