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.

An Accidental Activist: Ed Bisch Feb 20, 2023

Show notes

Coach Blu speaks to Ed Bisch and his battle with Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family concerning OxyContin on this week's podcast. Listen as Ed talks about February 2001, when his life was blindsided as he learned his 18-year-old son Eddie was found unresponsive in his bed. Questing some of his son's friends, he learned that OxyContin had been used unbeknownst to it posed. Police on the scene told Ed that local kids were dying from "Oxy" and the situation worsened. The drug, they said, was spreading quickly across the country and already causing chaos locally.

Bisch has sounded alarms about the dangers of opioids now for more than 2 decades. As the founder of Relatives Against Purdue Pharma (RAPP), he attended countless public hearings, trials, and protests and is a claimant in a class-action lawsuit against the pharmaceutical company, the creators of Oxy. Listen as he describes his lifelong battle for Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family to take responsibility for stealing one out of the millions of lives their medication has taken from loved ones.

Bisch's activism got him noticed by others fighting against opioid abuse, including Beth Macy, author of "Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America." Macy wrote about Bisch in her latest book, "Raising Lazarus: Hope, Justice, and the Future of America's Overdose Crisis."

Sex Addiction and Betrayal Trauma Feb 01, 2023

Show notes

This week's episode is a collaboration and panel discussion with professionals on the topic of Sex Addiction and Betrayal Trauma.

Our relationship is deeply rooted in emotion. You share your memories, accomplishments, goals, hopes, and dreams with your significant other or partner. You have come to rely on each other for emotional support and guidance. This can make being betrayed by your partner even more devastating than being betrayed by a friend or family member because the betrayal affects so many aspects of your life.

When we are betrayed by someone we love, it feels like the world is ending. We wonder how we will get through our days, let alone survive them. Our hearts are broken and our trust is shattered.

When this person was supposed to be your safe place, your anchor in life, your heart can feel like it has been torn out of your chest. Betrayal trauma can send us into a tailspin that can take years to recover.

Sexual betrayal is one of the most intense and impactful types of betrayal because sex is supposed to be an intimate experience between two people who love each other. It is the act of giving all of yourself to your significant other or partner and being completely vulnerable. When this happens outside of a committed relationship, it can feel like a complete violation of trust and loyalty.

One on One with Coach Blu: Take Control Of Your Own Pain Dec 12, 2022

Show notes

Is pain a recipe for a catastrophe? Often pain and trauma create addiction. Many become addicted to opioids due to emotional pain because the painkiller of opiates also takes away emotional pain as well as physical pain. Coach and Marissa talk about how to communicate and recognize pain. Moving pain to healing can take a massive amount of knowledge.

Locate the pain on the inside and work on self-awareness. Emotional pain can be healed with work. Coach Blu says, "The cycle of addiction is never broken until you make the conscious effort to do it." It's time to take control of your pain.
