I'm so about preaching about sobriety, because before I went to rehab I didn't have too many people to look up to that were sober.
Ever wondered how a top athlete can spiral into addiction and then claw their way back to a life of sobriety? In this episode of The Recovering Reality Podcast, Erik Frederickson sits down with X Games medalist Colin Morrison. Known for his daring motocross feats as an original member of the Metal Mulisha, Colin's journey took a dark turn when his recreational drug use escalated into full-blown addiction.
Colin doesn't hold back as he recounts how his initial dabbling in weed and alcohol quickly progressed to more dangerous substances like pain pills and dustoff. His candidness about not selling but consuming these pills himself adds a raw layer to his story. The turning point? An intervention by his Metal Mulisha teammates, which pushed him into rehab and set him on the path to recovery. Today, Colin is seven years sober and uses his platform to advocate for sobriety.
He talks about the challenges he faced finding sober role models and how crucial it was for his own recovery. This episode isn't just about Colin's struggles; it's a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction. His story shows that recovery is possible, and that sobriety can bring a newfound freedom and purpose. Tune in to hear Colin's inspiring journey and learn how he turned his life around.
