Beau Carter's Path from Addiction to Community Champion
I love the fact that you've been able to create a movement out of the pain, that you took that mess and turned it into a very powerful message.
What happens when the pain of losing friends to addiction becomes a catalyst for change? In this episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, host Blu Robinson chats with Beau Carter, a man who transformed his struggles with addiction into a mission to serve his community. Beau's story is one of hitting rock bottom in high school, facing jail time, and going through rehab. But it was his experience with drug court that sparked a profound shift in his life.
He opens up about the hurdles he faced in adopting a new lifestyle and the critical role of humility and honesty in recovery. The loss of friends to addiction and suicide became a powerful motivator for Beau, driving him to create the program Addicted We Stand. Through this initiative, he's not only advocating for better access to treatment and sober living but also turning personal grief into a message of hope and purpose.
This episode is a testament to the impact one person can have when they channel their pain into positive action. Tune in to hear how Beau Carter is making waves in his community and inspiring others to follow suit.
