Exposing the Catalyst of Your Destructive Behavior
Emotional trauma, physical or sexual abuse, divorce, peer pressure, or another of many possible underlying causes of despair are often found to have been the catalyst for individual’s heading down the self-destructive path of alcohol and substance abuse. The road to recovery begins by determining what unique factors triggered this behavior.

Ironman Competitor Tells of Addiction, Recovery

ADRIAN, Mich. — Six years into sobriety after 13 years of drug and alcohol addiction, Todd Crandell began competing in Ironman Triathlon competitions.
Today Crandell, 44, of Sylvania, Ohio, has completed 19 full-length Ironman Triathlons and is one of only 25 people in the world to have completed both the Hawaiian and Canadian Ultraman Triathlons.
Just as important, in 2001, he founded Racing for Recovery, a program that uses support groups that include family and community as well as fitness and positive alternatives to help people overcome addiction.
Maintain Sobriety by Interacting with Family & Friends
Anyone effected by addiction is invited to join the discussion at any of the Racing for Recovery™ support group meetings.
According to the Department of Health and Human Services, “an estimated 22 million American’s are classified with [one form or another of] substance dependance or abuse…”
Experience Inspires Others to Make Better Choices
All too often, individuals make bad choices in life, because they did not receive the right guidance or advice from a peer or someone they looked up to and respected. In a perfect world, every child would learn, from an early age at home, how to make the right choices and avoid the pitfalls associated with alcohol and drug abuse. Unfortunately, this does not always happen and it is sometimes left to others to connect, educate and inspire a healthy lifestyle in others.
