You know it's cliche, but you know they come into the rooms of na and aa and you know really they need somebody to love them a little bit until they can learn to love themselves, and I think that's that's a great thing.
Ever wondered what it's like to turn a public downfall into a story of hope and recovery? In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', hosts Laurie McDougall and Annie Highwater chat with Rob Koebel, an award-winning journalist, actor, and writer, who opens up about his battle with alcoholism. Rob takes listeners through his journey, starting from his teenage years when he first started drinking, to the very public humiliation that became his wake-up call.
He doesn't shy away from discussing the impact his addiction had on his family and career, offering a raw and honest look at the struggles many face but few talk about. Rob also delves into the stigma and shame that often accompany addiction, emphasizing the importance of compassion and understanding. He highlights how love and support played crucial roles in his recovery, showing that no one has to go through this alone.
Whether you're someone who knows a 'Good-time Charlie' or you're navigating your own path to sobriety, Rob's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the possibility of redemption. This conversation is not just about the hardships but also about finding light at the end of the tunnel. Tune in for an inspiring discussion that offers both practical advice and emotional support.
