Running toward Recovery with Amber Graziano

When Amber Graziano stopped drinking she didn't know anyone who didn't drink. But, she did know she liked to run and that other runners might be non-drinkers, or other non-drinkers might want to try running. So she decided to start a sober running group. On the podcast, Amber shares that the first 5 people who joined her Facebook group included her mom and best friend but gradually, through word of mouth, the group began to grow and today there are over 2000 members. A powerful part of our after-alcohol journey is channeling our energy into new areas that help us grow - physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally. Amber believes that running and the Recovery Road Runners group helps with all of that, while also offering a recovery community.  Amber shares the gifts she has found by running in recovery, including: more confidence, letting go of excuses, and the mantra "one mile at a time". In addition to an in-person running group, a Facebook community, RRR also offers a non-profit foundation, coaching and retreats.  Sign up for The Sober Summit: Holiday Edition HERE Full Show Notes HERE
