Rob Koebel's Journey: From Public Humiliation to Purposeful Sobriety

My recovery has always been: the rooms are not my destination. I'm not perfect for it, and I could be a lot better. I'm learning, and that's probably the hardest thing is now I have to sit in my own emotions, I have to identify when things aren't going well and not fall back into old patterns and teach myself.
Ever wondered what it's like to rebuild your life after hitting rock bottom in the public eye? Rob Koebel, an Emmy Award-winning Investigative Reporter, takes you on his raw and real journey from addiction to recovery. Picture this: a dream job, a beautiful wife, and then, a very public meltdown. Rob's life took a nosedive when his ex-wife, a CNN News Anchor, wrote a tell-all book about their marriage. The fallout?
Rob was caught on camera, intoxicated, urinating on an Apple Store. The headlines were unforgiving. Fast forward four years, and Rob is now sober, determined to find meaning and passion again. In this episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, hosted by Omar Pinto, Rob opens up about his battle with alcohol and the wreckage it caused. He talks candidly about the importance of finding purpose in sobriety and the hurdles of breaking old habits.
Rob also touches on the power of forgiveness and how sharing his story has helped him and others heal. This episode is a heartfelt conversation that offers hope to anyone struggling with addiction. It's a must-listen for those looking for inspiration and practical advice on their own path to recovery.
