EPISODE 103:

Physical Fitness & Life Beyond Addiction with Scott Strode 

How does physical activity aid the recovery journey?

with Tommy Rosen

In this week’s episode of In The Circle, I’m delighted to speak with Scott Strode. Scott has been sober for over 25 years and is the Executive Director of The Phoenix, a transformational nonprofit he founded in 2006. The Phoenix is reshaping how society views addiction and recovery by harnessing the power of connection to create lasting change.

The Phoenix offers free in-person and virtual programs worldwide, including yoga, climbing, music, CrossFit, art, and dance. The only cost to participate is 48 hours of sobriety. While an activity might draw someone in, Scott emphasizes that it’s the supportive community of sober friendships that keeps them coming back.

Today, we’ll dive into how this spark of hope has helped thousands rise from addiction because the solution to the addiction crisis lives in all of us.

Community is what keeps us together and thriving in recovery.

– Tommy Rosen, In The Circle Podcast

Tommy discusses:

  • The role of physical activity in recovery
  • Community is the thing that keeps people on the recovery path 
  • Is medication needed in recovery?
  • How can we give back and help someone in need?
