I'm blessed right now, where I have a great family life again, because they all cut me off. If I say I'm going to do something Today, I'm going to do it.
Imagine growing up in a place where danger lurks around every corner and addiction is a common escape. That was Rob Lutman's reality in Camden, NJ. Raised by his mother while his father served time for heroin use, Rob's childhood was anything but ordinary. He even learned to walk during visits to his dad in prison. Despite the warnings from his father's life, Rob found himself drawn into the world of drugs and alcohol to mask his insecurities.
The first time he tried Percocets, he was hooked, setting off a chain reaction that led him deeper into addiction. His journey wasn't a straight path; it was filled with highs and lows, including periods of sobriety and devastating relapses. One of the darkest moments came after a job layoff, which plunged him back into heavy drug use, eventually leading to a life-changing traffic accident.
Now, with 4.5 years of sobriety under his belt, Rob works as an outreach coordinator at Sunrise Detox, helping others find their way out of the darkness. This episode of 'It Gets Better' is more than just a story of addiction; it's a testament to human resilience and the power of hope. Rob's tale is a raw, unfiltered look at the struggles and triumphs that come with battling addiction.
Whether you're facing similar challenges or supporting someone who is, Rob's journey offers valuable insights and a message that recovery is always possible.
