Rob Koebel: From Public Humiliation to Seven Years Sober

I'm just grateful to be alive here today... You know, you think of some of the things that you did wrong as some that I really loved. And then I'm thinking: my god, I hope she only talks about the marriage and not the divorce, because there's an asshole, absolute asshole for that part.
Imagine your career crashing down in a single, humiliating moment. That's exactly what happened to Rob Koebel, a former TV news investigative reporter. In this gripping episode of 'Keepin' It Friel: Conversations on Recovery', host Courtney Friel sits down with Rob to talk about his journey from a public scandal to achieving nearly seven years of sobriety.
After being caught on camera urinating on an Apple store and getting into a scuffle with the police, Rob's life took a drastic turn. But instead of letting that moment define him, he used it as a catalyst for change. Rob opens up about the guilt and resentment he had to face and the crucial role therapy and treatment played in his recovery.
He also shares the tools and strategies he relies on to stay sober, emphasizing the importance of hard work and chasing dreams in a life free from alcohol. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or looking for inspiration on their own path to recovery.
