Our message has been clear, erase addiction and replace it with things of greater value such as health, recreation, service, relationships, and team unity.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn your life around completely? In this heartfelt episode of the 'Addict II Athlete Podcast', Coach Bu sits down with Brandon Helmick, a father whose life took a dramatic turn when he received an unexpected call. Living out of his car and battling addiction to crack and heroin, Brandon was informed that he might be the father of a newborn left alone in a hospital. The baby, born addicted to heroin, needed him.
Holding his son for the first time, Brandon knew he had to change not just for himself, but for this innocent child who depended on him. With sheer determination and the support of his family and community, Brandon managed to get clean and gain full custody of his son. His story is a powerful testament to the transformative power of love and responsibility.
Throughout the episode, Brandon shares the raw and emotional challenges of single fatherhood, the importance of a strong support system, and how the Addict II Athlete message helped him replace addiction with healthier, more meaningful pursuits. Whether you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, Brandon's journey offers hope and inspiration. Tune in to hear about the strength it takes to overcome addiction and become a hero in your child's eyes.
