I speak to guest Stephen Melling who started the group, Recovery Runners in Liverpool.

We chat about how Ste's alcohol and other drug use began, his mental health struggles, feeling purposeless and depressed, and finally how running became his saviour. This is an inspirational half hour that left me feeling completely full of admiration for Stephen. I hope it inspires you too.
