In this episode of the GITT Up Podcast, I sit down with Gene Detherage, a man whose story reflects the heart of recovery, resilience, and choosing purpose one day at a time.

Gene opens up about his personal journey through addiction, the consequences that came with it, and the hard truth moments that forced him to take responsibility for his life. We talk honestly about what recovery really looks like beyond the surface — the daily work, accountability, humility, and the mindset required to stay clean and sober.

This conversation isn’t about overnight success or quick fixes. It’s about rebuilding from the inside out, learning to show up consistently, and finding purpose through service, growth, and doing the next right thing even when it’s uncomfortable.

We also discuss the importance of community, faith, discipline, and surrounding yourself with people who tell you the truth — not what you want to hear. Gene’s story is a reminder that no matter how far you’ve fallen, change is possible when you commit to the process.

If you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, or rebuilding your life after addiction, this episode will speak directly to you.
