Finishing Fitness Pillars, final day of Alcohol Awareness Month
Welcome to another week of the Chapter 3 Newsletter.
Alcohol awareness month wraps up and we roll directly into… Mental Health awareness month in May! Thank God we have all of these dedicated months that no one really talks about to make someone sitting in a nice office in DC feel like they did something during their term.
To actually take some action and try to create some change, we’re going to be launching a massive (for Chapter 3 Stigma standards) promotional campaign on Instagram. Follow along for the ride. We hope to grow the readership and reach of Chapter 3 Stigma during these next 31 days.
I’m just going to keep doing this until it is time to go home from the run.

The last couple weeks saw the completion of a short Pillars of Recovery series. Thinking of life within the framework of these pillars has altered my recovery journey significantly for the better.
The Physical Fitness podcast goes into more detail about my experience with the depressive effects of alcohol. It is not your typical physical fitness, workout focused podcast. I hit on a topic about how alcohol and long term use and abuse really destroys your body’s physical systems that wind up controlling mood, emotional regulation and other key aspects of your intellectual abilities.
The Spiritual Fitness podcast discuss my journey back to a relationship with God, as I know him. It is my favorite podcast in this short series, as it is powerful and the most important reason why I was capable of sustaining myself on the road of active recovery during our trial with Lucy.
