Life was proceeding swimmingly until pesky lumps in his neck progressed into a diagnosis of Stage 4 oropharyngeal cancer; a mass had grown on the back of his tongue. The subsequent treatment cured him but left him decimated, discouraged, and despondent. Mired in depression and despair, Phillip received a divine invitation... to walk the Appalachian Trail. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePhillip had never hiked a long distance. His limited backpacking experience entailed a one-week Adirondack excursion as a teenager. Hence, an adventure spanning more than six months and 2,000 miles along a mountain range seemed reckless but exhilarating. Four years of preparation did not adequately equip an aging 55-year-old man for all he would encounter. The rugged trail, extreme weather, and challenging people tested his resolve. However, the most ominous threat to his thru-hike proved to be his emotions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile chronicling the miles walked, sites seen, and options chosen, Phillip delves into how decades of working a program of recovery enabled him to consistently monitor and adjust his attitude - vital for completing any thru-hike. He openly and vulnerably discusses the peaks and valleys of his emotional roller coaster, how his 'crew' bolstered, encouraged, confronted, and tested him, and the power wielded in attitude. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContinue is a story about human relationships - with each other, nature, and a power greater than ourselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd 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":47181652623609,"sku":"9798849510507","price":20.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/N3VSb2hqUEltTGtBYjhJUndqUUVHZz09.webp?v=1767762517","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/continue-right-click-on-the-appalachian-trail-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
