We share recovery stories, education, life tips, address teen and parenting issues, and more. Our topics address all walks of life but also addiction recovery with tips and fundamentals for those seeking recovery as well as the family and friends of someone who is. Addict II Athlete removes the negative stigma of addiction and mental health and creates a foundation of potential and support. Addict to Athlete is a nonprofit team of peers, friends, and family who have a desire to create a new way of life. By knowing an addict, having been affected by addiction, or being in recovery yourselves, Team Addict II Athlete is here to help. We have come together to help one another with the outcome from all angles of addiction using our Erase and Replace Philosophy. Erase negative behaviors by replacing the void left behind with health, service, support system, and recreation. We are here to carry the message of recovery and change the outlook of addiction. Our goal is to spread the message of recovery to the addict and family of the addict who still struggles with addiction and to show that we have discovered a more excellent way to live. Moving from Addict to Athlete, dismisses the old way of thinking that recovery must remain anonymous as you become an Agent of Sobriety and a Champion of recovery.

Is Self Deprecation a Harmless Habit? Mar 28, 2022

Show notes

On this week's podcast Coach Blu takes a deep dive into the toxicity of Self Deprecation. It is a way many disparage or under value themselves. Self-deprecation is, in many ways, the cornerstone of negative humor. But many of us are guilty of taking self-deprecation too far – using it as a method of attention-seeking when feeling down or using it to mask low self-esteem which in turn brings you down even further.
