Rob Lohman's story is one of transformation and hope, taking you on a journey from addiction to redemption. Starting at the tender age of 14, Rob found himself entangled in a web of alcoholism, fuelled by his family's history. His teenage years were marked by chaos and a loss of identity, as he became a master of disguise to fit into a world dominated by alcohol and drugs. However, amidst the turmoil, Rob experienced a pivotal moment that changed everything.
While drinking heavily in a bar, he heard a voice saying, "You're done". This divine intervention marked the beginning of his path to sobriety. The episode sheds light on Rob's struggles with addiction, highlighting the destructive patterns that led him to contemplate suicide. It also explores the impact of process addictions like gambling, which proved to be even more challenging for Rob than substance abuse.
Through candid anecdotes and reflections, Rob shares how he navigated these dark waters and found solace in faith and community support. Rob's story is not just about personal recovery but also about advocacy. After spending time in prison for arson—a result of his mental breakdown—he became an advocate for criminal restitution reform in Colorado, successfully fighting for fairer interest rates for those incarcerated.
Now, with over two decades of sobriety under his belt, Rob is focused on opening a faith-based recovery centre, providing a beacon of hope for those seeking help. This episode is a testament to the power of faith and community in overcoming addiction. Whether you're grappling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Rob's journey offers valuable insights and inspiration.
