Cycling Out of Darkness: Owen Vermeulen's Triumph Over Addiction
Description
Today, we have the privilege of speaking with Owen Vermeulen, a remarkable individual who successfully transformed his life after battling with substance abuse. His journey began with an introduction to recovery at the age of 18, but despite a promising career in professional skateboarding, he found himself ensnared by addiction once again.
During our conversation, we will explore how cycling emerged as a guiding light for Owen, becoming a pivotal force in his sustained recovery. We'll delve into his distinctive encounters in gravel cycling, including his recent participation in a challenging 8-day gravel race in Colombia.
Owen will share insights on rebuilding relationships that were impacted by addiction, and he'll offer a message of hope to those navigating their own paths to recovery.
