Our Links- https://linktr.ee/addicttoathlete Mental Health and Addiction support & Resources This has become a pivot point in our new way of life.

We are a group of friends, peers and family members who all have one thing in common…addiction. By knowing an addict, having been affected by addiction or being in recovery ourselves. We have come together to help one another with the outcome from all angles of addiction. We have found a new way of life, by exercising and becoming physically fit. We are here to carry the message of recovery and change the outlook of the word… addict. To show that there is hope for every individual affected by addiction out there. We have adopted the philosophy of Erase and Replace, defined as; erasing our addiction and replacing it with something of greater value (ie. healthy living, friendship, family, respect, and compassion). Our goal is to spread the message of recovery to the addict and family of the addict who still struggles and to show that we have discovered a more excellent way to live. We wish to redefine the public’s view on addiction and recovery. Many individuals have been told there was no hope for them, “Once an addict always an addict”, that we would never change. Unfortunately this is a common viewpoint. This belief is simply not true, we are living proof that change is possible, all we need is an opportunity and we have found it by moving from an addict to an athlete. We are here to put addiction and recovery in front of everyone’s minds and to redefine who we are as producers and creators of something bigger than ourselves. We are here to take a stand and to make a difference, showing we are good people and are living proof that overcoming addiction begins at the starting line as we take strides alongside one another, in unity, to cross that finish line together, knowing that we are the best athletes in our world.

Giving Tuesday is a powerful reminder that together, we can turn recovery into a movement of hope and healing. This year, we’re asking you to stand with Addict II Athlete, a nonprofit dedicated to transforming addiction into strength through fitness, community, and service.

Why Your Support Matters
Every dollar you give helps individuals and families rebuild their lives after addiction. Substance abuse continues to impact millions:
- Over 46 million Americans struggle with substance use disorders each year.
- Only 6% receive the treatment they need.
- Communities with strong recovery programs see up to 60% lower relapse rates and higher employment and family reunification outcomes.

Addict II Athlete provides free recovery support groups, mental health resources, and athletic programs that replace addictive behaviors with healthy, purpose-driven lifestyles.

How You Can Help
- Donate today to fund recovery programs and community outreach.
- Share this post to spread awareness and inspire others to give.

Thirty-six incarcerated men at the Utah State Prison ran a full marathon, 79 laps around the yard, and what unfolded was pure Addict II Athlete spirit: grit, heart, and redemption in motion.

Each runner pushed through the pain, cheering for one another, refusing to let anyone fall behind. One man in a wheelchair powered himself through all 79 laps, keeping pace with the runners and crossing the line to a roar of applause, a masterclass in endurance and willpower.

Officers, senators, former Olympians, some Addict II Athlete volunteers, and fellow inmates lined the track, united, cheering, holding the vision when someone started to doubt their own.

One runner hit the wall four laps from the finish. His teammates circled him up, reminded him of his commitment, visualized the win, and ran him home. Another man, already finished, stood back up and ran a final lap beside his exhausted partner, because that’s what teammates do.

There was purpose in the pain, and power in the push. Healing happens. Growth happens. Change happens.

Sometimes it looks like 36 men running a marathon behind prison walls, proving what’s possible when someone believes in them, and when they believe in themselves.

What’s your impossible? Lace up and line up to your starting line. .boren.92 ._bo_jangles9001
