So we have these sober tailgates right here at our house. It's an old old home that is resting right in the heart of the campus and, like Kyle was saying, it's a safe place for people to be.
College life is often synonymous with parties and drinking, but what happens when you're trying to stay sober in that environment? Todd Zalkins dives into this very topic with Blake Schneider, the Collegiate Recovery Program Coordinator at Mississippi St., and Kyle W, a student in recovery. This episode of The Z-Man podcast sheds light on the unique challenges faced by college students battling addiction while navigating campus life.
Blake opens up about his path to becoming the coordinator and how the program offers a sanctuary for students in recovery. He stresses the importance of community, connection, and creating a sense of belonging in a setting where social events often revolve around alcohol. Kyle shares his personal story, detailing the hurdles he faced and the toll addiction took on his relationships. He talks about how self-reflection, prayer, and meditation have been pivotal in his recovery journey.
Both guests underscore the significance of collegiate recovery programs and their hopes for expanding these resources to more campuses. They also touch on an exciting new TV project aimed at showcasing the efforts to support students in recovery across different colleges. This episode is a blend of inspiration, practical advice, and a look towards a hopeful future for collegiate recovery programs.
