I had a job that our father- I mean through his connections. I'm like the 17th floor, beautiful office. I'm supposed to be writing reports and analyzing all this market research data. So I got this hotel room, which was kind of seedy, although it was a nice address, it was still a pretty seedy hotel that I remember, and the good news was that it was across the street from a burger king.
Ever wondered what rock bottom looks like? For Bob, it was a dingy hotel room he dubbed 'Hotel Transylvania'. In this gripping episode of 'Tales from the Edge', hosts Nanci Adair and her brother Bob Schiller open up about their personal battles with addiction and the long road to recovery. Joining them is Glenn Simpson, who shares his harrowing experience of a three-year stint in that very hotel room, drinking himself to the brink of death.
With over 85 years of combined sobriety, Nanci and Bob bring both gravitas and humor to this deeply personal conversation. They discuss the physical toll of addiction, the importance of self-reflection, and how sharing stories can be a powerful tool for healing. Bob's candid reflections on his journey—like mistaking severe withdrawal symptoms for the flu—offer a raw look at the struggles and small victories that define recovery.
This episode isn't just about despair; it's a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction. Tune in to hear how even the darkest moments can lead to a brighter, sober future.
