The difference today is I'm enjoying success, and it's not even about the material things. And the odd thing about it is I have more money now than I did before, and now I view it as less important than I did back then.
Imagine grappling with the loss of your parents, financial struggles, and the weight of hiding your true self. That's the reality Rob faced, and in this episode of 'The Sober Unicorn', he shares his powerful journey.

He candidly discusses how he initially blamed external factors for his alcoholism before realizing that the responsibility lay within himself. This revelation was a turning point, leading him to embrace his true identity and seek recovery. Throughout the episode, Rob underscores the importance of community in the recovery process. He highlights how support networks played a crucial role in helping him overcome the selfish tendencies that often accompany addiction.

He shares heartwarming anecdotes about reconnecting with his ex-wife and children, and finding joy in non-material successes. His journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of living authentically. Whether you're part of the LGBTQ+ community or an ally, this episode offers valuable insights into the intersection of identity and recovery.
