Addict II Athlete Podcast

The Addict II Athlete podcast is hosted by Coach Blu Robinson, a licensed clinical mental health counselor and substance abuse counselor who has worked in the field since 2001. He is a fantastic public speaker, coach, and therapist who works with many individuals, youth, couples, and families addressing issues like addiction, trauma, communication, parenting, and more. Blu hopes to provide listeners with the skills and game plans for anyone to turn their mess into their message of hope and a bright future. The AIIA podcast is here to inspire anyone. 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.

Understanding Autism and Addiction Oct 18, 2021

Show notes

This week's podcast has been a long time in the making. We have wanted to address this today's topic for several years and struggled to find an individual we felt could inform and teach the complex and important topic of autism. We are excited to introduce the Team to Alexandra Pearson. Alex describes herself as 'living in the gap between the Neurotypical and Neurodivergent' (ND) worlds, as she has always worked with and intuitively understood ND's, yet pretending to be Neurotypical, via her ability to hide her autistic traits. Her social media influence expanding awareness, education, and advocacy to autism, has made a huge impact on Coach Blu and Athletic Director Marissa.

A study out of Sweden suggests that people with autism who have average or above-average intelligence quotients (IQs) are more than twice as likely to become addicted to drugs or alcohol as their peers are. The risk is even higher for people who also have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This study is the first to look at the general risk for addiction among people with autism.

Establishing Hope Apr 27, 2020

Show notes

Today Blu and Marissa Robinson discuss hope. What is hope, why is it so important, and how to establish it if you're struggling to find it? In 1991, positive psychologist Charles Snyder and colleagues came up with "hope theory." According to the theory, hope consists of agency and pathways. A person who has hope has the will and determination to achieve goals and a set of different strategies at their disposal to reach their goals. More simply: Hope involves the will to get there and different ways to get there. https://www.patreon.com/addicttoathlete

Today's Podcast follows Dr. Jared Hemmert DDS as shares his story on how addiction crept in to take everything that was precious to him like family, career, and almost himself as it almost took his life. We believe these things happen for a reason and the situations that are the most difficult are usually the ones that are also very inspiring once the right principles are applied. Truly a podcast that demonstrates turning a mess into a powerful message. https://www.patreon.com/addicttoathlete

Addict to Athlete believes that an active role in sober recreational activities leads to a fuller and more rewarding life. It is time to create your life again, to give new life, and freshness by recreating. We hope to help individuals and families not only recreate but re-create their lives. Our goal is to give our athletes an opportunity to enjoy a variety of recreational activities. The anticipated result is to show individuals how to find enjoyment in a leisure activity, encourage them to be socially active while building sober support, and help them learn new skills they can apply to many areas of their lives, thus implementing our erase and replace philosophy.
