The difference between recovery and sobriety is...living positive, of living for recovery, of keeping my eyes open, not being impressed by the big shot.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their darkest days into a beacon of hope for others? In this episode of the Addict II Athlete podcast, Coach Blu Robinson sits down with Bob Balfour, a man who has done just that. Bob's journey is nothing short of remarkable. Growing up in a family environment that threw numerous hurdles his way, he found himself sidetracked by addiction and its devastating consequences. But Bob didn't let his story end there.
He chose to rewrite it. By embracing health and wellness through running, he transformed his life and became a mentor and coach for others on the path to recovery. Bob shares his experiences of witnessing violent crimes and making the pivotal decision to step away, realizing, 'this isn't right. I can't be here'. His story is one of redemption, community building, and the power of positive addictions like fitness.
Now a pillar in his community, Bob works tirelessly to bridge the gap between law enforcement and those in recovery, proving that change is possible. This episode is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the transformative power of sticking with the winners. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on living a recovery-focused life, Bob's story is one you won't want to miss.
