From Marine to Mentor: Jim Copeland's Path to Sobriety and Service

I don't let anything stop me. And then what I've seen you do since joining attic to athlete. But the thing that I'm amazed by is that perseverance, that grit, and then that desire to finish what you start.
Jim Copeland's story is one of resilience and transformation. In this episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blu Robinson sits down with Jim, a former marine who has faced the battle of addiction head-on. Jim opens up about his journey from the structured life of the military to the chaotic world of addiction, and how he found his way back through perseverance and faith.
The conversation delves into the camaraderie and brotherhood that played pivotal roles in both his military and recovery experiences. Jim discusses the profound impact of trauma and PTSD on his mental health and how these challenges fueled his addiction. However, his story is not just about struggle; it's about redemption and service. By turning to faith and spirituality, Jim found the strength to reclaim his life, become an athlete, and dedicate himself to helping others.
This episode is a testament to the power of grit, humility, and the importance of finishing what you start. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Jim's story offers hope and practical insights for overcoming life's toughest battles.
