Welcome to Episode 17 of the Tactical Recovery Podcast with Colin and Brock! In this episode, we dive deep into Brock’s incredible journey as he conquered the 29029 Everest Challenge at Snowbasin Mountain. The challenge? Climbing a total of 29,029 feet—the equivalent height of Mount Everest. Brock’s experience wasn’t just a physical battle; it was an emotional and mental test as he faced pain, anger, excitement, and discouragement, all while pushing himself to reach the summit, again and again.
But this challenge isn’t just about the mountain—it's a powerful metaphor for recovery. Just like the relentless uphill grind of 29029, the path to sobriety is steep, exhausting, and requires perseverance through moments when giving up feels easier than pressing on. In this episode, we explore the parallels between the endurance needed to complete the 29029 challenge and the resilience necessary to stay committed to recovery. The determination to overcome one ascent at a time, despite the overwhelming obstacles, mirrors the day-by-day effort required to stay sober and rebuild your life.
Join us as we unpack the lessons learned from this grueling experience and how they apply to your personal journey in recovery. Whether you’re facing a mountain or fighting for sobriety, the principles are the same: grit, community support, and an unyielding belief that you can rise above whatever stands in your way.
Get ready to be inspired and motivated to tackle your own Everest, one step at a time.
