Rob Lohman’s story is one of incredible resilience and transformation. In this episode of 'God Took Me to Las Vegas', host Randy Mortensen sits down with Rob to discuss his tumultuous journey from addiction to recovery. Rob opens up about his early struggles with alcohol, drugs, gambling, and even sex and porn addiction.
His life took a dark turn at the young age of 14 when he started drinking, which led to years of turmoil and a suicide attempt that was thwarted by his loyal dog, Jake. But Rob’s story doesn’t end in despair. Instead, it’s a powerful testament to the human spirit's ability to rebound and find hope. After a nervous breakdown in his eleventh year of sobriety, Rob faced a thirteen-year prison sentence but was released early to a halfway house.
It was here that he began to rebuild his life with the unwavering support of his wife and children. Now, as an author, public speaker, and recovery coach, Rob dedicates his life to helping others break free from the chains of addiction. His deep Christian faith has been a cornerstone of his recovery, guiding him through the darkest times. Throughout the episode, Rob and Randy emphasize the critical role of supportive communities and faith-based recovery programs.
They discuss the challenges faith communities face in addressing addiction and stress the importance of creating safe, non-judgmental spaces for those seeking help. The conversation is both inspiring and eye-opening, offering valuable insights into the journey of recovery and the power of faith. If you’re looking for a story that underscores the possibility of change and the importance of support, this episode is a must-listen.
