Meet the Founder

  • Caleb Larsen

    Born in a small town in Utah in 1992, Caleb has journeyed through the depths of addiction, despair, and ultimately, recovery. With a strong sense of purpose, Caleb founded Sober Start Texas to provide a beacon of hope and transformation for individuals battling addiction.

    Growing up in a loving family, Caleb's life took an unexpected turn when, at 15, he began a tumultuous relationship with drugs and alcohol. What started as seemingly harmless fun, soon spiraled into a decade-long battle with drug addiction and alcoholism. This harrowing journey led to countless encounters with law enforcement, the loss of many relationships and eventually, an attempt to take his own life.

    The weight of addiction took Caleb to the darkest depths of depression, a struggle that persisted for years. At a critical juncture in his life, he faced a moment of profound reckoning – a stark realization that life, as he had been living it, could not continue. Fueled by a newfound determination to embrace sobriety and rebuild his life, he sought help.

    Beginning in 2021, he embarked on a transformative path to recovery, a journey that began with professional treatment. This pivotal moment marked the turning point in his life, providing the structure, support, and community he needed to rebuild his life.

    This personal experience ignited a passion within Caleb to create a haven for others seeking sobriety – a place where individuals can find solace, strength, and belonging as they begin their own journey toward lasting recovery. And thus, Sober Start Texas was born.

    Caleb is not just the founder of Sober Start Texas; he is a living testament to the power of recovery and the unwavering belief that everyone deserves a chance at a brighter, alcohol and drug-free future. Through his own story of resilience and transformation, Caleb is committed to extending a hand of support to those in need, offering a lifeline to those on their own path to recovery.
