Skating Through Recovery: Drew, Woody, and Shane Share Their Journeys

I just think other people don't agree with other peoples because the Yankees are better than the red sox. No, this is literal right, and I don't think a lot of the people that are reading the book, they don't know how to actually interpret it.
Imagine finding solace in the whirr of skateboard wheels while navigating the rocky terrain of addiction and mental health. In this episode of 'Learning to Lose', host Pat Ridge and his co-host Billy sit down with Drew, Woody, and Shane for a heartfelt chat about skating, sobriety, and mental wellness. Drew opens up about how skateboarding became his escape from life's pressures and a tool for maintaining his sobriety.
Woody shares his struggles with mental health as he tackles the challenges of his late 20s. Shane offers a raw account of his journey to recovery and how he's rebuilding his life from the ground up. The conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics like the role of religion in recovery and the difficulty of setting boundaries and asking for help.
One memorable moment captures the essence of their discussion: 'I just think other people don't agree with other people's opinions because the Yankees are better than the Red Sox. No, this is literal, right, and I don't think a lot of the people reading the book know how to actually interpret it'. This episode is a blend of candid stories and valuable insights, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of skating, mental health, and sobriety.
