The best thing anyone can ever hope to be in this world is of some use.
Rob Kraushaar's life reads like a movie script, but it's all too real. Growing up in Regina, SK, Rob didn't have a rough upbringing, yet he found himself drawn into a world of gangs, drugs, and crime. Arrested for the first time at just 14 for stealing a car, his teenage years spiraled into a chaotic mix of addiction and lawlessness.
By his twenties, he was deeply entrenched in a lifestyle that led him to homelessness and even a near-death experience in a hospital, where his heart valve was barely functioning. At one point, he was so desperate that he took his IV pole into his drug dealer's car just to get high in the hospital parking lot. In this episode of 'Hard Knox Talks: Sober Stories.
Real Talk.', Rob opens up about these dark times and the pivotal moments that led him to turn his life around. He shares how support from people who believed in him, even when he didn't believe in himself, played a crucial role in his recovery. Now five years clean, Rob is not just surviving; he's thriving.
He's a loving father of six, a dedicated student on his way to becoming a social worker, and a talented tattoo artist with dreams of opening his own studio. Rob's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible for anyone willing to fight for it. Tune in to hear how he transformed his life and what keeps him motivated to stay on the path of sobriety.
