He loved his work in the recovery field and felt deeply grateful for his family. Then a few \"pesky\" lumps in his neck turned into a life-shattering diagnosis: Stage 4 oropharyngeal cancer, a tumor at the back of his tongue. Treatment saved his life-but left him exhausted, hollowed out, and wondering what came next. In the middle of that darkness, Phillip sensed a startling invitation: walk the Appalachian Trail. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePhillip was not a seasoned long-distance hiker. His only backpacking experience was a single week in the Adirondacks as a teenager. So the idea of spending more than six months and 2,000 miles on a rugged mountain trail felt reckless and exhilarating all at once. Four years of training still could not fully prepare a 55-year-old body-or heart-for what awaited him. The brutal terrain, wild weather, and complicated people all pushed him to his limits, but his greatest battle was with his own emotions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs he logs the miles, shelters, and summit views, Phillip also shares what decades in a program of recovery taught him about monitoring and resetting his attitude-skills that proved just as essential as boots and backpack. With honesty and humor, he writes about: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe emotional highs and lows of starting over after serious illness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \"crew\" of family, friends, and fellow hikers who encouraged, challenged, and sometimes aggravated him-but never stopped believing in him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe quiet, insistent power of choosing your outlook, one day and one step at a time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContinue: Right Click on the Appalachian Trail is more than a hiking memoir. It is a story about relationships-with each other, with the natural world, and with a power greater than ourselves that meets us on the trail and in everyday life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor anyone facing cancer, walking a recovery path, dreaming of the Appalachian Trail, or simply wondering how to keep going when life falls apart, this book offers one clear message: you can pause, reset, and continue. And a triumphant ending certainly helps.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 306\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 02, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49383471710360,"sku":"9798849510507","price":27.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/8830\/4024\/files\/jmkqAkfiYC9798849510507.webp?v=1783178092","url":"https:\/\/thepinkflamingobooks.myshopify.com\/products\/continue-right-click-on-the-appalachian-trail-paperback","provider":"The Pink Flamingo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
