Starting from his early days of drinking in seventh grade with his brother, Robert's story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, including stints in jail.

His career in the music industry has flourished alongside his commitment to sobriety, showing the transformative power of community support. This episode is a raw and inspiring look at what it means to keep fighting the good fight.
