I commend Drew’s dedication to Muay Thai arts as a way of getting out of addiction. As a recovering alcoholic I can very much relate to that spiral, and as he stated in the film, alcohol was a way of life, now he is choosing another way of life. What a miracle he made it through three near death experiences! I know that for me, focusing on fitness really helped carve out a new path in my brain – something about working with your body can keep you grounded, but also seeing the benefits of keeping in shape really helps mentally. I imagine learning a martial art such as Muay Thai helps keep you in the present moment and puts the focus on your body in the state of activity, motion and form. It takes a lot of practice and diligence to develop that skill!
Great job, Drew – thank you for sharing your story on this journey of recovery. Thank you Trevor for bringing us this film – alcoholism wreaks so much havoc but it’s wonderful to see Drew recover, stay true to his indigenous roots and learn a new skill – what an inspiration to us all!
