In the latest episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blue Robinson welcomes Brad Waldron, a prominent member of Team Addict to Athlete, to discuss the powerful themes of support, honesty, and resilience in recovery. Brad Waldron, well-known within the community, shares his inspiring journey of overcoming health issues, including kidney failure and the demanding process of dialysis. His story is one of immense strength and dedication to service, which has touched many lives.
Brad emphasizes the significance of being open about personal challenges, particularly health-related ones, and allowing others to step in and offer support. He candidly discusses how this openness has been crucial in his recovery journey, helping him build a network of care and encouragement. Throughout the conversation, Brad highlights the role of community in his life, particularly through his involvement with Team Addict to Athlete.
One of the most inspiring aspects of Brad's story is his participation in races with adaptive wheelchairs, where he experiences firsthand the spirit of camaraderie and motivation. He recounts pushing Emma, a minor leaguer, during the Salt Lake Marathon half marathon, which was a profound and uplifting experience for both of them.
These races symbolize more than just physical achievement; they represent a collective effort to inspire and support one another, especially those facing their own battles with addiction or mental health challenges. As National Recovery Month approaches, Coach Blue and Brad discuss upcoming events like the 5K proxy run and the annual softball tournament, encouraging listeners to participate and support the cause.
These events are not only opportunities for physical activity but also serve as platforms for raising awareness and fostering a sense of togetherness among participants. Brad's message is clear: resilience and recovery are deeply intertwined with honesty and support. By reaching out and being truthful about one's struggles, individuals can find strength in community and push forward towards healing and growth.
For anyone grappling with addiction, Brad's journey offers a beacon of hope, demonstrating that with determination and the right support, it is possible to transform one's mess into a message. Listeners are encouraged to share the podcast with anyone who might benefit from Brad's insights and are reminded that resources like hotlines are available to provide help when needed.
