My athletes, my family, myself to go to the horizon, but it's going to change. You can see those roadblocks in life, those monuments in life, the time that you did that or time you did this, when you turn around, look how far you've come.
Ever wondered how physical activity can be a game-changer in addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Addict II Athlete', Coach Blu sits down with Angela Pugh on her podcast 'Addictions Unlimited' to share his incredible journey from addiction to founding a life-changing program. Coach Blu, a mental health therapist and host of the 'Addict II Athlete' podcast, opens up about his tumultuous childhood filled with poverty and constant relocations, which eventually led him down the path of addiction.
But his story doesn't end there. Through a job working with troubled youth, he found a new purpose in life by volunteering to take kids to 12-step meetings. This experience not only sparked his own journey to sobriety but also inspired him to create the Addict II Athlete program. This unique initiative encourages individuals to replace their addiction with healthier activities like running, biking, and community service.
Coach Blu dives deep into the therapeutic benefits of movement and recreation in the recovery process. He also emphasizes the importance of vulnerability, empathy, and understanding when supporting others on their recovery journey. The episode is filled with moving stories of trauma and triumph, self-acceptance, and real-life examples that illustrate the power of turning negative behaviors into positive ones.
Tune in to hear Coach Blu's commitment to helping others and learn how the Addict II Athlete program has grown into a supportive community for those in recovery.
