In this compelling episode of the Addict II Athlete podcast, Coach Blu Robinson sits down with Scott Strode, the founder of The Phoenix, to delve into the transformative power of movement in addiction recovery. Scott Strode, who has been sober since 1996, shares his personal journey of overcoming addiction through physical activity and community support. He emphasizes the importance of building a new identity, one that is rooted in self-esteem and healing.
This new identity is crucial for those seeking to move past addiction and into a healthier lifestyle. Scott recounts how movement, whether through mountain biking or other physical activities, played a crucial role in his own recovery process. He notes that the act of moving one's body can heal wounds and foster resilience. By integrating movement with recovery, Scott has been able to serve around 800,000 people in the last two decades through his organization, The Phoenix.
The Phoenix is built on the premise that recovery should not be financially burdensome, allowing individuals to heal and grow without going bankrupt. The conversation between Blu and Scott highlights the importance of community and shared experiences in fostering resilience and strength. Scott explains how The Phoenix has created various programs and events, such as sober spaces at music festivals and virtual meetups, to support individuals in recovery.
These initiatives aim to build connections and offer support to those who might otherwise feel isolated. Forgiveness is another key theme discussed in the episode. Scott shares insights into how forgiving oneself and others is a crucial step in the healing process. This forgiveness extends beyond the individual struggling with addiction to family members and others affected by the addiction dynamics.
Listeners are encouraged to explore Scott's book, which offers guidance not only for individuals in recovery but also for their families. The book emphasizes the importance of taking a breath and examining one's role in the recovery dynamic, promoting collective healing. Ultimately, this episode underscores the mantra "movement equals healing," encouraging listeners to embrace physical activity as a pathway to transformation and recovery.
Through community support and innovative programs, Scott Strode and Coach Blu Robinson offer hope and motivation to those on their recovery journey.
