I Don’t Meditate I Marathon- Ep5 7.22 Miles, One Week Left, My battle with alcoholism

I was staying in Carson after getting back from SF. I was smoking cigarettes, drinking everyday in my moms house, and my old job was taking forever to get me rehired. Free time is the devils playground y’all. My sister graduated from high school and I waited outside smelling of last night and honestly contemplating plans of the night to ensue. This was a moment I was familiar with. Feeling on the outside of the people closest to me by blood even. All too familiar but in hindsight I needed to go through that. See alcohol didn’t change me at all. It brought out this Keith I thought i wanted to be. I was stuck in that feeling even when I stopped sippin. I picked up boxing strictly wanting to feel pain in another way. My mom came in the living room and my youth gave way for me developing a beer belly cuz of Ben and Jerry’s daily. That’s when my self esteem lowered and knew I had to put some miles in or be a victim of my own demise. I started my first mile at 9 minutes and some change. I don’t even know if I truly ran a mile. I put down the gloves and kept with the roadwork cardio. My first sponsor when going to AA thought meditation would help but I hadn’t transcended from the quiet being loud even when alone. I decided instead of adding to my meditation time, I added miles and eventually I was talking with my higher power about everything only to be met with love, peace, and clarity. And that’s why today...I Marathon
One day you will tell your story of how you’ve overcome what your going through now and it will become part of someone else’s survival guide.
This is my new series called I Don’t Meditate I Marathon. It will include workouts and Pisces talks, and everything etc.
Pisces Talk...I’m going to do this on mornings where I’m opening the gym. Topics based on astrology to help motivate you throughout your day. You may not be a Pisces, but I’m hoping my words can help everyone. Early Mornings Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
My name is Keith Kilgore Jr and I am an alcoholic. The first time I picked up a drink, it wasn’t a euphoric feeling. Rather it was something to quiet my anxiety. What started as the weekend became my everyday life. And this is my comeback story, one run at a time. I’m going to show you how an alcoholic started his own Marathon Training Plan.
