Adrian Hart - Addiction to Sobriety: The road from Substance Abuse & Depression, to Health & Happiness


Listen Later

In this episode I’m joined by my peer Adrian Hart, also known as “the sober PT”.

A recovering alcoholic, Adrian drank for 10 years & at the time of this podcast going live he is 9months (& two weeks!) sober.

He has taken responsibility for his own life, his health, & happiness, & through doing this has changed the entire trajectory of his life for the better. Coming from a place of darkness, anxiety, fear, no confidence & an abundance of self-doubt, depressing & no motivation…

In the past year he has not only turned his health, mindset & physique around, he has completely changed his career (a pretty non-negotiable element to his recovery for reasons to which he will tell you about in the episode!) & is now helping others to make positive, lasting change in their own lives by improving their own mental & physical health.

This is a raw, open and honest account of Adrian’s journey thus far… his triumph’s, failures, & everything in between - for which I’m truly thankful to him for sharing, as I’m sure that it will inspire and help you as it has myself, & many others.

Adrian has spoken in the past about how he has realized that whether you are striving to be successful with your fitness OR to be successful in sobriety, you use a lot of the same tools & principles:

  • Goal setting
  • Creating Routine
  • Focus
  • Growth Mindset
  • Self Care
  • #herestoanother24

    For anyone who may be triggered by discussions around the topics of Addiction, Sobriety, Substance Abuse, Depression & suicide, the conversation may be difficult.
