Adam Larkin: Taking the Sober Risk | The Hopeaholics Podcast

In this inspiring episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, hosts Natalie and Chad welcome back Adam Larkin, a recovering addict turned entrepreneur, who shares his transformative journey from a 17-year struggle with opioid and benzodiazepine addiction to building a thriving life of sobriety and purpose. Adam details his pivotal "God thing" moment in Kentucky, where he discarded drugs and committed to recovery, leading to detox, sober living, and learning construction in Indiana. He discusses the success of his clothing brand, GITT Apparel, now in 41 states and three continents, inspired by the motivational phrase "Get in the Truck." Adam also highlights his sobriety date of May 7, 2019, his fiancée’s new women’s treatment center in Harlan, Kentucky, and his upcoming projects, including a podcast and autobiography titled To Hell and Back: From Addiction to Acceleration. Through candid reflections on his traumatic past, including a fatal car accident at 19, and his current roles as Chief Marketing Officer for New Hope Counseling and Recovery and a social media consultant, Adam’s story underscores resilience, the power of positive influences, and the importance of giving back, culminating in his plans for the fourth annual GITT Recovery Celebration, where he’ll give away a car to someone in early recovery.
