In this episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blu Robinson sits down with Tyson Steed, a man who has turned his life around after years of addiction and incarceration. Tyson's story is nothing short of inspiring. He was introduced to the Addict II Athlete program while serving time in the Utah State Prison and has since become a beacon of hope for others.
Tyson now dedicates his life to the Ashley and Michelle Project, a nonprofit helping women transition from incarceration and addiction to a stable life. He shares his tumultuous childhood, marked by the absence of his biological father and the struggles within his family. Tyson’s journey through addiction began early, influenced by a lack of emotional connection at home and the desire to fit in with peers.
His story takes you through the highs and lows of addiction, the moments of clarity brought by substances like methamphetamines, and the eventual realisation that he needed to change. Tyson's transformation is deeply tied to his involvement in sports and the supportive community he found through Addict II Athlete. He discusses how these elements played a crucial role in his recovery.
Tyson also touches on the importance of having a supportive network and how his current work with the Ashley and Michelle Project is helping others find their way out of addiction. This episode is a testament to the power of community, support, and personal determination in overcoming addiction. If you're looking for a story that combines raw honesty with a hopeful outlook, this episode is a must-listen.
