Surfing Towards Recovery: Kevin Carmignani's Journey with ORCA
“It's strange reactions from all different walks of life. Of that you know and that there is this light of day kind of life and that recovery is happy, joyous and free, where so many people who don't understand recovery think recovery is: oh, you're in recovery when it's like.”
Ever thought about how surfing could play a part in someone's recovery journey? In this episode of the 'Recovery Matters! Podcast', Phil and Sandy Valentine catch up with Kevin Carmignani, the dedicated ORCA Project Manager. Celebrating ORCA's first anniversary, Kevin dives into the eco-friendly initiatives that have made waves in the community. From ditching single-use plastics to embracing reusable bottles, ORCA has inspired many to make greener choices. But that's not all.
Kevin opens up about how surfing has become a cornerstone of his recovery process. He shares heartfelt stories of how the ocean's waves have brought him peace and helped mend broken relationships. For Kevin, recovery isn't just about staying away from substances; it's about finding joy and freedom in everyday life. This episode is a blend of environmental advocacy, personal triumph, and the healing power of the sea.
If you're looking for a dose of inspiration and a reminder that recovery can be as exhilarating as catching the perfect wave, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.
