We don't recover alone, we heal with our community support group
Support Group
Addict II Athlete was established to assist the healing process of addiction recovery. We quickly realized that the team approach was more crucial than we had thought. When you have a community support group and system behind you, all motivated, moving towards the same goal, extraordinary things can happen. Addiction recovery can seem isolating and become part of a social networking problem. Team Addict to Athlete eliminates that social withdrawal and allows people to see their true potential. Sober support is crucial to long term sobriety.
In a support group like AIIA, members provide each other with various types of help, both professional and nonprofessional. Unlike other support groups, the team uses a philosophy developed by Blu Robinson, head coach, therapist and substance-abuse counselor alongside the athletic director Marissa Robinson, a certified recreational therapist. The professionalism and clinical view has assisted people struggling with addiction be able to utilize a new form of recovery. And in a day and age where treatment for drug and alcohol has become so outrageously priced, this team approach can help and assist individuals even beyond what they may have done before to put their addiction behind them.
We have found a team approach has been the best approach to eliminate substance use. Each athlete plays a crucial role in the team’s move to sobriety. We teach the universal principle that you are not an addict, that it is only part of you. That way all individuals who become members of team AIIA are not called addicts but, are labeled athletes. It becomes the foundation they need as they learn of the support system available to those who are facing critical issues. We train to become a unified team, an agent of sobriety, able to grow and connect like never before.
We are teammates coming together as a support group with members consisting of those who have an addiction and those who have a loved one struggling with addiction. On the field of battle, the real world by which the opponent, the addiction, is trying to force us into submission, we feel more empowered, drawing strength from our teammates as we develop a strong sense of community. Come join our support group and see what you can become.
We are team Addict II Athlete!
