Picture this: you're on top of the world, living life on the edge, when suddenly everything changes in an instant. That's Roy Tuscany's story. After a spinal cord injury from a ski jump gone wrong, Roy's life took a dramatic turn. He set a wild goal to drink an entire handle of tequila by himself – a feat he survived but one that pushed him to quit drinking cold turkey.
Celebrating four years of sobriety in October 2020, Roy shares his journey of overcoming the odds with the help of his partner Alana and son Gunner, who inspire him to be better every day. In this episode of 'Recovery Hour', host Lori Windfeldt sits down with Roy to discuss his incredible path to sobriety and the founding of the High Fives Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting athletes who have suffered life-altering injuries.
They dive into how Roy dealt with his mother's cancer diagnosis and the grief of losing loved ones, all while battling aggressive drinking habits that turned his life into what he calls a 'SHIT SHOW'. Roy opens up about the struggles of losing friends in sobriety and how he manages to find positives in the darkest of times. He talks about the importance of giving back, paying it forward, and embracing the Hawaiian concept of 'OHANA', which means family.
And if you think his story couldn't get any more interesting, wait until you hear about his appearance on ESPN and his face being featured on Lays chip bags! This episode is perfect for anyone looking for a raw, real, and ultimately uplifting story of recovery and resilience. Whether you're on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Roy's story is a testament to the power of determination and the support of loved ones.
