And that's what the beauty of what I've seen happen- is because these athletes that are in recovery- you know and I know that you've worked with drug court and stuff like that, and when I started addict to athlete, that's kind of the program where I was working at with our county facility, and what I found was that these people that I had in treatment- I had them in group, I was their therapist in the morning, so I'd come at nine until noon, and then they had to go to work and they had to go to a meeting.
Ever wondered how a professional athlete battles addiction while maintaining a public persona? In this episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blu Robinson chats with Sally Greer, a former tennis pro turned sports anchor. Sally opens up about her 30-year struggle with alcohol addiction, a journey intertwined with childhood trauma, an eating disorder, and bipolar disorder.
Her story isn't just about the challenges but also about the pivotal moments that led her to seek help and eventually turn her life around. Now, as the founder of 1 ON 1 Addictions Counseling for Athletes, Sally dedicates her life to helping others on their recovery journeys. This episode dives deep into the impact of childhood trauma on addiction, the unique pressures athletes face, and the role of personal accountability in recovery.
Sally’s candidness and resilience shine through as she shares how exercise became a cornerstone of her recovery and offers heartfelt advice for women grappling with similar issues. Tune in to be inspired by Sally's incredible journey from the tennis courts to becoming a beacon of hope for those in recovery.
