Powerful, practical and inspiring insights of a life in Recovery

On September 28th, 2024, at the age of 76 and with 43 years of sobriety, I took on a new challenge: skydiving from 15,000 feet. That leap wasn’t just a personal triumph; it was a way to give back, supporting a cancer charity while proving that life in recovery is not only possible but extraordinary. Recovery has given me the strength to live fully, take on challenges, and inspire others.

On September 28th, 2024, at the age of 76 and with 43 years of being clean and sober, I took the leap of a lifetime – skydiving from 15,000 feet. This thrilling experience was not only a personal triumph, but also a way to support a cancer charity, demonstrating that life in recovery is not just possible, but truly incredible.

Recovery has given me the strength and courage to take on challenges I never thought possible, and this jump symbolizes the heights we can all reach when we commit to positive change. It’s never too late to live fully, give back, and inspire others.

It’s in Recovery I realize that it's not about just having a life; it's about truly being alive.

The Tough Guy renowned as the most grueling one-day survival challenge on the planet. I proudly conquered this test of endurance not once, not twice, but a total of five times. My conquests spanned from January 1992 to 2008, a remarkable feat achieved at ages ranging from 47 to 61. #toughguy @zurugroup #bcb #livealifetodiefor #itsrogerx #FromAdversityToAdventure

On 14 February 2016, the 10.8m ocean rowing boat Toby Wallace was on passage in the
North Atlantic Ocean, between the Canary Islands and Barbados. Shortly after 2300 I looked up to see a monster rogue wave. Skipper shout those most dreaded words,"Man over board". Mike soon became separated from the boat.
The seven of us rowers remaining on board were unable to stop the boat, and eventually lost sight of him.
