We kind of provide that other middle section, that gray area. They're getting back into it, because that, oh yeah, this is something I can do, and I can do it with people, and you get to meet new connections and meet other guys that are, or other people that are involved in the same things you're into, and it's really what I like.
Skateboarding and partying have often gone hand in hand, but Curt Eichelberger is flipping that script. In this episode of Recovery Survey, Curt, the founder of Skate Straight, shares his inspiring journey to sobriety and how he's creating a supportive community for skaters in recovery. Curt opens up about his own struggles with addiction and how skateboarding, a sport he loves, became a tool for his recovery.
He realized that traditional support groups didn't quite fit the unique lifestyle of skaters, so he decided to create something new. Skate Straight isn't just about sobriety; it's about building a community where skaters can find support through activities like yoga and, of course, skateboarding. It's a place where members can connect over shared experiences and find healthier ways to cope. Based in Dallas, Texas, Skate Straight is making waves by offering an alternative to traditional recovery methods.
It's filling a much-needed gap for those who might feel out of place in conventional AA meetings. If you're curious about how skateboarding can play a role in recovery or if you're looking for fresh ideas on how to support someone in their sobriety journey, this episode is a must-listen. Curt's story is a testament to the power of finding your own path and the importance of community in recovery.
