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.

This week Coach Blu is solo as he reintroduces the Addict II Artist program as we relaunch this free group. The Addict II Artist program is a transformative initiative that utilizes the principles of art to support individuals in their journey of mental health and addiction recovery. By fostering creativity, self-expression, and reflection, the program encourages participants to explore their emotions and experiences through various artistic mediums. Art principles such as color theory, composition, and texture are integrated into workshops, helping individuals to channel their struggles into tangible creations. This process not only promotes healing and self-discovery but also builds a sense of community and connection among participants. Ultimately, the Addict II Artist program empowers individuals to redefine their identities, find purpose, and cultivate resilience through the healing power of art.

Remembering Superman Feb 08, 2021

Show notes

Athletes, today we are dropping a very special episode. This was the very first interview I was able to do with the late Coach David Clark. Having thought this episode was lost when our former platform Pod Bash moved to the Radio Ronan network, I was happy to have found this episode and relive the chemistry, content, and friendship that developed from this meeting. In the short time, we were able to know David he taught us a lot about life, sobriety, and of course living every moment as if it's your last.

We lost Coach David Clark following a surgery he had last May. February 5, 2021, would have been Coach Clark's 50th birthday. What a fitting tribute to be able to re-experience the relationship we had with Coach Clark. Listen and enjoy as we discuss so many of the founding principles Addict to Athlete has come to know.

How To Balance Recovery Feb 01, 2021

Show notes

Today Coach Blu and Athletic Director Marissa speak in detail on how to create, establish and maintain a balance while in recovery. There can be a great deal of time, energy, and resources, and money invested in maintaining the newly established recovery? Many times, we can become hyper fixated on our personal recovery which can distract us from the other aspects of our lives that are truly important. Many times, family systems get left out of the recovery process and then have a difficult time understanding the changes that have been made within a loved one's long-term goals. This podcast discusses points of interest on establishing balance, how to maintain motivation, and experiences associated with mindsets crucial for long-term success.
