Radio Ronin

On this week's Addict II Athlete Podcast Coach Blu takes a deep dive into the most common co-occurring disorders that are typically found when an individual is also diagnosed with a substance use disorder. Listen as he reviews generalized anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, personality disorders, and mood disorders, as well as taking a deep dive into a borderline personality disorder. These are sensitive topics to discuss and Coach Blu does an eloquent job discussing how these disorders manifest, what they truly are, and how to find help if you or a loved one are exhibiting any of these co-occurring disorders.

On this week's episode of One on One with Coach Blu, we take a deep dive into the fallout over the Brigham Young University versus University of Utah rivalry football game played on September 11, 2021, and controversy over the Board of Director's Make-A-Wish, Mr. Todd Noall's decision to wear a shirt depicting former BYU quarterback and NFL great Max Hall's mug shot as a gesture of poor sportsmanship. Listen as Coach Blu describes the significance behind the issue of losing 255 people a day to addiction and overdose and the negative stigma this kind of action promotes. There are hundreds of stories of people who have lost their battle to addiction and to have the audacity to mock someone who has redeemed themselves and placed recovery as a primary driving force in their life is simply disrespectful. We have much work to do at the stigma of addiction and recovery is very real and the assistance of community support groups is very much in need. Let's show more love, empathy, and understanding.
