Desmond Lomax: From Football Field to Therapy Room

We're too busy looking at all the heroes in the world that we can't look within ourselves and say: hey, the hero is right here.
Have you ever wondered how someone transitions from being a football star to a clinical therapist? Desmond Lomax's story is nothing short of inspiring. In this episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blu Robinson sits down with Lomax, a former BYU football player who found his calling in law enforcement and eventually as a clinical therapist. Their conversation dives into the importance of principle-based living and how it can be a game-changer in the journey to recovery.
Lomax shares how genuine relationships, self-awareness, and self-compassion are crucial in overcoming addiction. He doesn't shy away from discussing the fear and stigma that often surround incarcerated individuals, offering a fresh perspective on humanizing addiction recovery. Running and exercise also make an appearance as vital tools for maintaining sobriety. The Addict II Athlete community stands out with its empowering approach, turning mistakes into opportunities for growth and reminding everyone that the hero they seek is within themselves.
Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that could very well change how you view recovery.
