From Addiction to Fitness: My Journey of Transformation

From Addiction to Fitness: My Journey of Transformation

 Sanyu Roberts , Uganda  Oct 14, 2025   1

As a child, life was full of excitement and adventure. But beneath the surface, I knew something wasn't quite right. I felt trapped in a world that wasn't mine, with boundaries that seemed suffocating. Suicidal thoughts crept in during my darkest moments, and at 11 years old, I attempted to take my own life. I know now that I wasn't alone in this struggle.

As I grew older, my desire for freedom led me down a path of experimentation. I started smoking opium at 13 and soon found myself addicted. The next 10 years were a blur of substance abuse and living on the streets. I felt lost and alone, with no clear direction or purpose.

But something inside me refused to give up. I stumbled upon fitness in my early 20s, and it changed everything. Exercise became my coping mechanism, my escape from the darkness. It took discipline and hard work, but I was determined to overcome my addiction.

Twenty years later, I'm proud to say that I've been able to replace my addiction with a passion for fitness. It's not just about physical health; it's about mental well-being too. Exercise has given me a sense of purpose and direction. I've been able to channel my energy into helping others, working with children in street situations for the past 15 years.

If you're struggling with addiction or feeling lost, know that there's hope. Fitness can be a powerful tool in your journey towards recovery. It's not about erasing the past but about building a better future.
