The Fitness Journey Begins. Patrick motivates to get in shape for the last 20 years of life.

Let Patrick's fitness journey motivate you. He talks about his addictive personality and the connection between nutrition, working out and sustaining his sobriety.

My brother would be about your age. He died in 2020, having never embraced sobriety as an answer to his troubled soul. Please keep doing what you are doing! It will inspire others.

[@Destin60-hm2sh]

So sorry about your brother. We do this to help people like him turn in the best direction.

[@KM-ul3pf]

@@Destin60-hm2sh thank you! My brother was brilliant and charming, to his detriment. His pride and ego stood in the way of acquiring humility. Stay on your path of recovery and helping others. Its the only option. Best wishes!

So, Sorry to hear about your brother. I lost mine also a few years ago to the poison that is alcohol. He did make it one year sober, then started drinking beer daily again. His liver shut down and he died within a week waiting on a liver transplant that was never going to come..

[@KM-ul3pf]

@@djvision7399 I am so sorry for your loss. I'm sure you went through the rollercoaster of emotions with him which is so stressful. My brother spent 25 years in and out of detox/rehab, in and out of school, in and out of work, in and out of many residential halfway houses, in and out of bars, etc... He was estranged from his family for the last years of his life. He was my favorite person, but ultimately refused to take responsibility and grow up. It was a tragic waste of his life, but I am glad he is no longer suffering.

[@MrJdebest]

From people with addiction problems, they say that you have to change your circle of friends. You cannot hang with those who drink, smoke weed, snort.... Gotta say goodbye to them. Not easy.

[@Destin60-hm2sh]

Surround yourself with like-minded people who motivate you. Makes life a little easier for sure!

[@MrJdebest]

@Destin60-hm2sh Wishing you all the best as you turn your life around. 👍 Putting your story out there for all to see is sure to help others in the same situation. Thanks 😊

[@MistyGallegos]

Amen...

I am 52 years old and not in the best shape of my life physically or mentally. I have been working on my mental clarity for the last couple years. I agree 100 percent that you are what you eat and consume. Great videos ! I am new to your channel but let me say. You are very inspiring. Keep up the great work !

[@Destin60-hm2sh]

[@Destin60-hm2sh]

Glad you found us also. Hopefully we help you to motivate and achieve!

[@b000mAZ]

I'm following you closely! I left a couple bad habits behind recently due to heath reasons. These days, at 47 years old, I am riding my bike as much as possible. 10-12 miles each ride! It's really helping my mental attitude and curbing my anxiety. Trying to make better choices. Thank you for sharing your journey with us! ♥

[@Destin60-hm2sh]

[@rgomes7454]

Go for it Man! I've just made my 60 last month, also I stoped drink last June (after decades) and trying to make my best for the next 20 as well! Congrats and good luck to us!!!

[@ilenewhitney2672]

Lifting since I was 24. Now 71. Helps tremendously with sobriety. I completely understand being addicted to exercise. Good thing...Yes I am a recovering Alcoholic. One day at a time.

[@steveb9525]

I raced road bikes in college, and I was lean and mean. Diet and a aerobic exercise you enjoy like running on that beautiful beach will get you where you want to be. My life is improving slowly.

[@Destin60-hm2sh]

Great to hear! Keep it going.

[@Splinter.00]

You look like a totally different person now versus long ago. You look 20 years younger!

[@TSP6.]

8/27 of this year will be 2 years for me And still struggle with it on a daily to stay straight. It took a year of off and on to get this far, now if I could stay motivated to get healthy

[@Destin60-hm2sh]

Keep up the good work! You CAN win the battle.

[@Prospect_Reels]

OK Buddy. I see the video come up and have to watch it. Next thing you know I've got the fitness bands in hand and working out while you're talking. Add "fitness coach" to the repertoire! See you guys soon.

[@Destin60-hm2sh]

Love it!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@siennas]

[@user-je9ec8pk1p]

To love what you do and feel that it matters what could be more fun ... Much love ❤

[@Destin60-hm2sh]

You hit the nail on the head. Much love right back!

[@mattc9412]

At least you have great hair at 60.. lucky bastard :)

[@fosterapp]

I just subscribed and look forward to your journey. I’m a few years older than you and have gotten back into the gym more regularly a few months ago, and a couple weeks back stopped drinking cold turkey. I was in the gray drinking area, but knew at this stage of my life it would not serve me well in all aspects of a newly retired life. Howdy from Palm Springs🌴🌵California 👋🏻

[@janwarriner6554]

Word of caution: get your heart checked out. When we get sober there may be residual damage. Best wishes.

[@Destin60-hm2sh]

Great point! Get checked out before you start.

[@Hunnie_B]

👍👍

[@mikefox1711]

You started on my birthday.
