Andy Kantola: From Snowboarding Triumphs to Recovery Success

I'm to the point in my life now where I know that, um, I've tried every possible way to drink successfully and it just is not going to happen and I'm okay with that.
Imagine standing on the peak of a snow-covered mountain, feeling the rush of adrenaline as you prepare to descend. Now, picture facing the equally daunting climb of overcoming addiction. In this episode of the 217 Recovery Podcast, host Corey Winfield sits down with Andy Kantola, a snowboarding champion who has navigated both these challenging terrains.
Andy opens up about his journey from the heights of his athletic career to the depths of addiction, and how he managed to find his way back to a fulfilling life. He candidly discusses his initial hesitation towards step programs and how he eventually discovered alternative pathways that resonated with him. Andy also emphasizes the crucial role of having a strong support system and working with a therapist to maintain his recovery.
He shares heartfelt stories about how his addiction impacted his relationships and the steps he took to rebuild them. Now, as a recovery advocate, Andy uses his experiences to inspire and guide others on their own paths to sobriety. This episode is a compelling mix of personal anecdotes and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction. Tune in to hear Andy's story and discover how determination and support can lead to triumph over adversity.
