I really used a drinking and drug experience to end my athletic career. And so that early substance abuse proclivity ended up really showing itself there.
Picture this: a once-promising athlete finds herself entangled in the web of addiction, only to emerge stronger and more determined than ever. That's the remarkable story of Crystal Waltman, who sits down with Dan Reeves on the Spiritual Underground Podcast to share her journey of recovery and transformation. Crystal's path wasn't a smooth one. She faced the highs of athletic success and the lows of substance abuse, ultimately hitting rock bottom before finding her way back up.
In this episode, Crystal opens up about how spirituality and the twelve-step program became her lifeline. She discovered a higher power that guided her through the darkest times and a community that offered unwavering support. Crystal's candid discussion highlights that addiction doesn't discriminate—it can touch anyone, regardless of their achievements or background. Beyond her personal recovery, Crystal is making waves with the Sold Out Youth Foundation, an abstinence program for middle school students.
She passionately believes in the power of education and prevention, hoping to steer young minds away from the pitfalls she once faced. Crystal also talks about the role of exercise and healthy habits in maintaining sobriety. From hunting to woodworking, she found new passions that helped her stay grounded and fulfilled. This episode isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding purpose and giving back.
Crystal's story is a testament to resilience and the human spirit's ability to heal and inspire others. Tune in to hear her incredible journey and gain insights into how community, spirituality, and healthy living can pave the way to recovery.
