I kind of look at my sobriety as like a tabletop and I need AA, I need SMART recovery, I need to go to a therapist, I need meditation, like those things. Pick what works for you.
Imagine finding your path to sobriety through the wheels of a skateboard. That's exactly what Curt from Skate Straight Dallas did, and in this episode of 'This Pink Cloud', DJ Kelly Reverb gets the full story. Curt opens up about his personal battles with addiction and how skateboarding became his unexpected lifeline. He talks about the creation of Skate Straight Dallas, a community-driven initiative that provides support through skateboarding events and camaraderie, offering an alternative to traditional AA meetings.
Curt's approach to recovery is like building a sturdy table; he believes in using multiple legs for support, including AA, SMART recovery, therapy, and meditation. This episode dives into the importance of service work in recovery, recognizing when you need help, and overcoming physical addiction. Curt's message is clear: find what works best for you and don't be afraid to mix and match different recovery methods.
Whether you're struggling with addiction or just looking for a fresh perspective on sobriety, Curt's story is both inspiring and practical. He shows that recovery can be as unique as the individual, and sometimes, it can even roll on four wheels.
