Welcome to Living Well with MS Coffee Break #8, where we turn the tables and welcome Geoff Allix as our guest!   As you now know, we decided to do something a little different in expanding the range of content we produce here at Living Well with MS. To honor the community that forms the beating heart of Overcoming MS, this special series called Coffee Break features short interviews with members of the OMS community talking about their personal journeys adopting and staying on the OMS 7 Step Recovery Program, the challenges they encountered and how they overcame them, and their tips and tricks for sticking to the path that leads to better health. We hope you enjoy and learn from these intermezzos between our regular episodes, and as always, your comments and suggestions are always welcome by emailing podcast@overcomingms.org.   Bio:   To read Geoff’s bio, please click here.   Questions:   Can you tell us a little about yourself, your family, your life, where you live and anything about yourself you’d like to share? When were you diagnosed with MS and how long have you been following the Overcoming MS 7 Step Recovery Program?  What is your favorite thing about the program, namely what do you feel has made the biggest positive impact?  What was your greatest challenge in adopting the OMS program, and how did you overcome it?  What’s it like to be the host of Living Well with MS and engage with so many diverse members of the OMS and broader MS communities? Apart from hosting Living Well with MS, I know you’re quite active in the OMS community in your role as Ambassador for the OMS Circle in North Devon. Can you tell us about how that experience has informed your journey? How have you had to adapt your daily healthy habits to the new realities imposed by COVID-19?  Do you have any closing thoughts to encourage and inspire our audience?   Links:   Geoff Allix's Twitter Feed Living Well with MS OMS Circles   If you post something concerning OMS and COVID-19, especially if it’s a bit of good news during this rough patch, don’t forget to use the hashtag #positivelyOMS.   Coming up next:   On the next full-length episode of Living Well with MS, launching September 9, 2020, Geoff Allix welcomes Trevor Wicken, founder of The MS Gym, to the podcast.
