Your addiction is a symptom of something. We're all humans going through a human journey, having struggles and trials, and so we do it together.
Feeling overwhelmed by the current state of addiction and recovery? This episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast might be just what you need. Coach Blu Robinson, a licensed mental health therapist and certified substance use disorder counselor, teams up with Marisa Robinson, Addict II Athlete's Athletic Director and Certified Recreational Therapist, to tackle a broad spectrum of topics that hit close to home for many listeners.
From addiction and mental illness to overall health and wellness, they leave no stone unturned. One of the central themes in this discussion is the alarming rise of drug overdoses, particularly those driven by illicit fentanyl, fentanyl analogs, methamphetamine, and cocaine. The duo doesn't just highlight the grim statistics; they dive deep into the root causes of addiction, emphasizing that it's not a moral failing but a symptom of deeper issues that need addressing.
Ever wondered how family dynamics play into addiction? Coach Blu and Marisa explore how enabling behaviors and sheltering from consequences can perpetuate the cycle of addiction. They also challenge traditional treatment methods, advocating for a more personalized approach that considers each individual's unique circumstances and motivations. But it's not all doom and gloom. The conversation is peppered with hope and positivity. They stress the power of community and the importance of supporting each other through these struggles.
As Coach Blu puts it, "Your addiction is a symptom of something. We're all humans going through a human journey, having struggles and trials, and so we do it together". If you're searching for a podcast that offers both practical advice and emotional support, this episode is a must-listen. Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting a loved one through their journey, Coach Blu and Marisa provide invaluable insights that can help you navigate these challenging waters.
