Every Sunday at the Birdhouse Pickleball Courts in Murray, Nick Bolt gets ready for his weekly tournament. Bolt is a mental health counselor and everyone who is playing today is recovering from substance abuse .
Nick said, “We get a big mix here, mental health, different kinds of substance abuse, different ages, men, women, everybody. No one is safe from this disease.”Bolt said he was talking to a patient in his office and told him, “We’ve climbed the first big hurdle, so what do you want to do next?” Bolt started playing pickleball for exercise, so he decided to start Once Pickled for recovering addicts. The combination of exercise, friendship and therapy might be a good way to bring others with the same problems together.“I’ve been through the ringer, I just got out of treatment not too long ago and I’m 60 days clean as of tomorrow. I’m getting back on the horse and found this pickleball group and it’s a lot of fun,” Anderson said.
They meet, play, and talk about their shared experiences together. You might want to call it “fun therapy.” The group started with about 10 players and now has close to 50 and growing. They need more paddles, pickleballs and snacks for the growing tournament.Liv Gilbert with Mountain America Credit Union attended the tournament to “Pay It Forward” with a donation of $500.If you or someone you know would like to get involved in the tournament, you can go toMountain America Credit Union donated $500 to Once Pickled so they can continue to pay it forward.
