Addict II Athlete Davis County
Donation protected
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. This has become a pivot point in our new way of life.
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. friendship, family, respect and compassion).
Our goal is to spread the message of recovery to the addict and family of the addict who still struggle with addiction 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 in our fellowship 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 the front of everyone’s minds and to literally 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.
We are raising money to make Addict II Athelte available to more individuals in Davis County who have been effected by addiction.
We will pay race entry fees and buy jerseys for people who are unable to afford them on their own.
Addict II Athlete has a goal of running a 5k for charity every month so funds will be needed in an ongoing basis.
