I didn't care if they matched, I didn't, you know, I didn't wear makeup, I didn't really wear jewelry. In everything, everything, you can be addicted to everything.
Imagine being driven around by someone who has lived through the darkest corners of addiction and emerged into the light. In this heartfelt episode of 'Now Sober Podcasts', Vince and Jeanna chat with Roban, a former taxi driver with a story that’s both harrowing and hopeful. Roban takes us back to the days when she first encountered meth, a substance that quickly took over her life.
She opens up about the harsh realities of parenting while battling addiction and how her daughter's unwavering faith became a beacon of hope for her recovery. The conversation doesn’t shy away from the tough stuff. Roban shares how she had to make the heartbreaking decision to detach from her daughter, who followed a similar path of addiction. Yet, there are moments of levity too, as Roban recounts some memorable stories from her time as a taxi driver.
A particularly poignant part of the episode is when Roban talks about discovering her own childhood trauma and how confronting it was a crucial step in her healing journey. Her testimony and baptism marked significant milestones in her recovery, providing her with the strength and community support she needed. With over 20 years in recovery, Roban now lives in Oregon, caring for her mother and running her nail and jewelry businesses.
Her story is a testament to the power of faith, community, and resilience. Tune in to hear Roban’s inspiring journey and find out how sharing her story continues to help others on their path to sobriety.
