Recovery Survey

Andy Hoffer is a dedicated Fitness and Mindset Coach.

In 2000, at the age of 17, Andy was pregnant and afraid. On food stamps and with minimal assistance, she put herself through school while juggling being a mom and working to support her mini family. In 2010, Andy graduated as an Electrical Engineer and got herself to a position where she was making a ton of money but still unhappy. Money was NOT the answer. 

Overweight and self medicating on drugs and alcohol, Andy had a moment of clarity where she understood that things needed to change. On November 20, 2014, Andy made a choice that would forever change her. She quit drinking and doing drugs through the help of a 12 step program. 

Over the years, the tools that she has learned has helped to inform her method of personal training, yoga, and mindset coaching to help others begin to realize their own inner power.

Tommy's story starts innocently enough in 1980's Brooklyn, NY, as a young boy, Thomas Figlioli, makes a bad choice so he could gain the respect of a group of kids he looked up to and admired. Alcohol gives him the courage to be the person he always wanted to be. His fear and insecurity leaves and his lifelong struggle begins. Being a good student, Thomas lands a scholarship to Pace University in Pleasantville, New York, where his alcohol use and hard partying ways increase with each passing day. When things start to turn sour in Pleasantville, he moves back to Brooklyn for a geographic change. It is back in his old hometown that his life starts to unravel at a steady and almost torturous pace. After losing a promising career in the financial industry, his life turns even darker, eventually being hospitalized in a psych unit for alcohol and cocaine use. Once released he immediately reverts to the same ways. Tommy's life becomes a vicious cycle of addiction, graduating to harder and more damaging drugs. There is nothing he won't do and nobody he won't hurt. When thoughts of ending it all become a better choice than living how he is, Tommy finally asks for help and gets it through a twelve step recovery program. He comes back to life only to fall back into his old ways a few short years later. Now, a grown man and upstanding citizen, with a career, a fiancé and people who count on him every day, Tommy secretly navigates his way through a seven-and-a-half-year struggle with various prescription medications, eventually finding his way back to recovery and the life he always prayed for when times were at their worst.

Brock Bevell is a well-regarded family man with 7 children, six daughters and one son. He is a retired Police Officer who was run over on duty and ultimately retired from the injuries.  The injuries caused him to endure numerous knee surgeries and constant rehabilitation. To deal with the pain, he was prescribed Opioids. After months and months of therapy, the department and doctors made the determination that his injuries would prevent him from doing the job effectively and could place others at risk. It was decided that he would be medically retired from the department. 

For the next few years, Brock struggled with being retired. The day after turning in his equipment, he felt ostracized and not a part of the brotherhood. This was a huge blow to his ego. One day your chasing bad guys and the next your picking up your kid’s toys. It was a difficult transition. It was at this time, that Brock’s addiction took control of his emotions and he began to spin out of control, and he proceeded to self-medicate himself.  During the height of his addiction, he went through a very difficult divorce. He lost time with his children and made poor decisions costing him his children’s trust.
