Listener note: This episode includes a short, non-graphic mention of suicide within a broader discussion. If this is a sensitive topic for you, please listen in a way that feels supportive.

In this episode of The Sober Connection, host Abi King engages in a candid conversation with Jeremy Maxwell, a co-owner of a CrossFit gym and a person in recovery from addiction. 

Jeremy shares his journey from being a high-functioning addict to navigating the complexities of sobriety, including the impact of early trauma, the challenges of relapse, and the importance of community support. They discuss the role of exercise in mental health, the initiative 'Move the Weight' aimed at fostering community and connection, and redefine what recovery truly means. 

The conversation emphasises that recovery is not just about abstaining from substances but also about addressing underlying issues and learning to cope with life's challenges without resorting to old habits.
