Does anybody think that tri has supported their recovery from alcohol or drug abuse?
I am really curious based on my own experience and as I am now doing a study on the topic.
Thanks in advance for sharing.

You might be interested in the documentary “A New High”. It’s about a recovery program that helps people get off drink/drugs by teaching them to climb Mount Rainier. I watched it earlier in the year and enjoyed it.

Trailer is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFRNT3f79o0. Should be available to rent on Netflix and iTunes.

I know that John Joseph of the Cro-Mags recovered from drugs and alcohol addictions (he used to sling rock in Tribeca in the 80’s) and is now training for his who-knows-N-th Ironman race. Plus he’s a vegan and a real NY character who “tawks da tawk”. Here’s his YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGy-7a2mGbzfZYMNjOk-gRQ
