To turn that mess of addiction to a powerful message of sobriety, and that's what we do.
What happens when a bar owner decides to swap pints for ultra marathons? Carl Adams, co-founder of Primal Roots, shares his remarkable journey from the depths of alcohol addiction to the peaks of ultra running. Sober since August 26, 2018, Carl's story is a testament to resilience and the power of community support.
In this episode of Addict II Athlete Podcast, hosted by Blu Robinson, Carl opens up about his past life running bars and how he transitioned into community development. With a master's degree in Community Development, Carl's passion led him to create Primal Roots, a health and fitness initiative that offers free spaces for people in recovery, those experiencing homelessness, and individuals entangled in the criminal justice system.
Through Primal Roots, Carl has turned his struggles into a lifeline for others, proving that recovery is not just possible but can be incredibly empowering. Tune in to hear about Carl's ultra running feats, including 50-mile races and the grueling 215-mile Race Across Scotland. He also delves into how spirituality, family influences, and his love for running have shaped his recovery journey. Whether you're looking for inspiration or practical advice on overcoming addiction, Carl's story is bound to resonate.
