Your physical and mental health take a beating during active addiction.  Recovery is a three legged stool of mental, spiritual and physical recovery.  Eating healthy, exercising and seeing a physician on a regular basis is part of staying sober and can easily be neglected.

Though we find recovery, we always have an alcoholic mind and that "obsession," can come out in other ways, like an addiction to working out and a compulsion to only eat the right foods.  Unchecked and without balance, this "addiction" can derail the reason we started this journey in the first place.

Getting sober.

Matt, Steve and John talk about their focus on physical recovery.  Matt talks about getting on his spin bike again and John and Steve talk about their obsessive hikes.  They also discuss those who took the physical too far, and ended up getting drunk.
