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.

Show notes

In this episode, Coach Blu and Marissa address some issues with teens and adolescents. The discussion focuses on teen substance misuse, vaping, trauma and communication. Finding out your teen is using substances can be extremely scary as a parent. Parents often see what these choices could cause years down the road and quickly panic respond which often causes the child to retreat and or respond defensively.

It is critical to stay calm and understand your teen must be struggling with deeper issues than just the substance. Blu and Marissa gives tips and ideas on how to approach your adolescent. They also address how trauma can cause pain and issues that often lead to addiction and substance use.

Out of Bounds with Chris Herren Sep 28, 2022

Show notes

This week Coach Blu interviews former NBA Player, Chris Herren on his ability to turn the mess of addiction, into the message of the Herren Project, helping others overcome addiction. Herren grew up in Fall River, Mass., a high school basketball phenom and McDonald's All-American who went on to play for Boston College before being kicked out for cocaine use. He went to Fresno State to finish his college career, missing part of a season to get drug treatment, and was eventually the 33rd pick in the 1999 NBA draft, going to the Denver Nuggets. There, he had a team that knew about his struggles and provided a structure that kept him sober. When he went home to Massachusetts during the offseason, his old habits re-emerged and after being traded to his hometown Celtics and suffering an injury, his addiction took over. Listen to Chris share some of his great experiences and insight for someone looking for recovery and the newcomer.

How To Resolve Conflict Jan 31, 2022

Show notes

In this week's episode Therapist, Coach Blu takes a very deep dive into conflict resolution.

Conflict resolution is a way for two or more parties to find a peaceful solution to a disagreement among them. The disagreement may be personal, financial, political, or emotional. When a dispute arises, often the best course of action is negotiation to resolve the disagreement. Conflict resolution through negotiation can be good for all parties involved. Often, each side will get more by participating in negotiations than they would by walking away, and it can be a way for your group to get resources that might otherwise be out of reach. Learn ways you can communicate better in all relationships in your life.
