Christy Long's Journey: From Addiction to Advocacy

I wanted to help people not have to go through the same pain that we went through, and not even that just that, but to help people who were going through similar situations to know that there's hope and there's light at the end of the tunnel.
Picture this: you're navigating life after addiction, trying to find a new purpose. In this episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blue Robinson sits down with Christy Long, a long-term member of Team AIIA, to share her remarkable journey. Christy opens up about her recovery process, her passion for service, and how she returned to school to become a counselor and therapist.
She delves into the unique challenges faced by those re-entering society after incarceration and highlights the importance of offering support to people often overlooked by society. With a heart full of empathy, Christy has turned her own struggles into a mission to help others. She discusses the profound impact of mentorship, the healing power of gratitude, and the vital role of family and community in recovery.
This episode isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding purpose and fulfillment through service. Christy's story is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that underscores the importance of connection and the transformative power of giving back.
