It's like drinking running pulchers, like drinking in reverse, because you've got the initial suffering, the bliss of Two Weeks after my mind is just so.
What happens when you mix the endurance of an ultra-runner with the journey of sobriety? In this episode of the 'Addict II Athlete Podcast', Carl Adam, co-founder of Primal Roots, shares his compelling story. Carl, who has been sober since August 26, 2018, didn't always have his life on track. He spent a decade running bars before embarking on an 18-month trip around the world, eventually returning to pursue a degree in International Relations at 30.
But it was ultra-running that truly transformed his life. From 50-mile races to the grueling 215-mile Race Across Scotland, Carl's physical challenges mirrored his internal battles with addiction. He opens up about how faith and spirituality have played crucial roles in his recovery journey, alongside the importance of group therapy and community support. Through Primal Roots, Carl is now helping others find their own paths to fulfillment and purpose.
This episode isn't just about running; it's about the power of adventure, the strength found in community, and the resilience of the human spirit. Carl's story is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction, showing that with determination and support, a new life is within reach.
