Celebrating a Decade: The Impact of Addict II Athlete Podcast

Our basic goal is to be able to change the public's perception of what an addict is, what addiction is and what somebody in recovery can do.
What does a decade of dedication to addiction recovery look like? This episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast offers a heartfelt reflection on ten years of service. Hosted by Blu Robinson, a seasoned mental health therapist and certified substance use disorder counselor, this episode also features Marisa Robinson, the Athletic Director and a Certified Recreational Therapist. They open up about their journey, sharing stories and experiences that have shaped the podcast and its community.
Listeners are invited to send in their questions, making this episode interactive and deeply personal. Blu and Marisa tackle a wide range of topics, from addiction and recovery to mental health and wellness. One of the key themes is changing the public's perception of addiction. Blu emphasizes that addiction isn't a lifelong sentence, stating, 'Our goal is to change what people think an addict is and what recovery can look like'. The discussion also touches on the stigma surrounding addiction.
Blu and Marisa believe that identifying as an addict shouldn't define someone forever. 'I don't want that to be the biggest part of who I am', Blu shares, highlighting the importance of seeing beyond the label. They also discuss how COVID-19 has impacted their program, leading to the addition of online resources like Coach's Office Time for one-on-one support. This episode isn't just about looking back; it's about celebrating milestones.
With ten years and 200 episodes under their belt, Blu and Marisa reflect on the journey of Addict II Athlete and the significant role volunteers have played. They talk about the minor league's importance and even mention a virtual race that listeners can join. If you're interested in how a podcast can change lives and want to hear genuine stories of resilience, this episode is a must-listen.
