Have you or someone you’ve known struggled with addiction?  Have you experienced early life trauma or adverse experiences that led you to seek unhealthy coping mechanisms?  

We explored the topic of recovery from drug addiction for this week’s episode of the Reawaken Your Health Podcast with Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor LPCC-S) and Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor (LICDC-CS), Todd Crandell. Todd spent 13 years of his life in the throes of drug abuse and addiction before choosing a different path.  He started the organization Racing for Recovery to help people all over the world overcome addiction through healthy and holistic living.

Todd shared with us his early life experiences that led him to seek ways to cope with his trauma. He explained his choices and how he got mixed up in drugs. 

We discussed how he feels about addiction and recovery as well as his path to a life of sobriety. He shared why he started the Racing for Recovery organization and the four important tenants of the recovery process. 

Todd dove into the topic of resilience and how it has helped him with his choices during his sobriety. We also touched on his mindset and why a growth and learning perspective have helped him succeed. 

Todd’s ability to be real comes through in the conversation as he admits areas where he still needs to work and grow. He also touches on the various aspects of his health and lifestyle that help him to this day. 

Please join us to learn more about Todd’s unique process for drug addiction recovery to help you or a loved one.

What others had to say:

"Both Jana and I have benefited greatly from your course. I had a lot of pain because I’m bone on bone in my right knee, but refused to skydive on a fake knee so I had resolved to simply put up with the pain. My pain is much more manageable now and sometimes nonexistent. Thanks for all you do!" Randy Hubbs, Business Owner
