Scott Strode shares his journey from addiction to thriving on The TODAY Show
Scott Strode, 51, started drinking at 11 and using cocaine by 15. Addiction consumed his early 20s, leaving him paranoid and fearing an overdose. Once he got sober, fitness—climbing, boxing, triathlons—became his refuge. Determined to use his experience to help others, in 2006 he founded The Phoenix, a sober active community that has helped over half a million people overcome addiction. His forthcoming memoir, Rise. Recover. Thrive., aims to inspire even more people on their journey to recovery. In his own words, here’s how he did it.
“I don’t really believe in the idea that you have to hit rock bottom to change,” Strode, 51, tells PEOPLE. “I think you need a moment of perspective where you're clear-headed enough to see a change that seems obtainable.”
El 24 de julio, The Phoenix celebró un hito importante con el miembro número 500.000 que se unió a su comunidad. Este logro pone de relieve el impacto de la misión de The Phoenix, que comenzó hace 18 años con el objetivo de proporcionar un espacio de apoyo para la recuperación de la adicción. El hito refleja la dedicación de su personal, voluntarios y simpatizantes, y marca un momento crucial en la redefinición de la recuperación. A pesar de este éxito, la organización reconoce el reto constante que supone abordar los problemas de consumo de sustancias, que siguen afectando a casi 48 millones de estadounidenses. La celebración es a la vez un reconocimiento de los logros pasados y un llamamiento renovado a la acción, instando a seguir participando para impulsar un movimiento que ofrezca esperanza y apoyo a todos los necesitados.
Marquen sus calendarios: Las inscripciones para nuestro retiro anual en Moab se abren el viernes 1 de marzo a las 8am PST/11am EST. Nos encanta este evento y queremos que TÚ formes parte de él.
