Robert J.: 28 Years Sober and Back to Step One

I'm not wanting to quit my job because it's getting in the way of anything, and, as I said earlier, I spent my whole entire partying career, leaving jobs because it was getting in the way of my drinking. I spent time leaving bands that I was in because the rehearsals were getting in the way. It's the reaction or the action that I take on that thought.
What does it take to stay sober for nearly three decades? In this episode of Recovery Edge, Robert J. opens up about his 28-year journey with sobriety. Starting from his early days of drinking in seventh grade with his brother, Robert's story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, including stints in jail. But it was a pivotal meeting in Oakland that set him on the path to recovery.
Working closely with a sponsor, Robert redefined his approach to the first step, embracing honesty and perseverance. Now, back at step one, he shares how every day offers a new chance for growth. His career in the music industry has flourished alongside his commitment to sobriety, showing the transformative power of community support. This episode is a raw and inspiring look at what it means to keep fighting the good fight.
