When I realized it was a disease and that there really wasn't a rhyme or reason to the things I did or said that they were bad decisions under the influence of drugs and alcohol, I guess, going forward there, it took a little bit of the burden away and that I didn't have to carry that really.
Rob Koebel had it all—an Emmy Award, a dream job as an investigative reporter, and a seemingly perfect life. But behind the scenes, alcohol was slowly taking over. Things took a dramatic turn when his ex-wife, a CNN News Anchor, wrote a tell-all book about their marriage. Rob's response was a very public meltdown, caught on mall security cameras urinating on an Apple Store. The incident made national headlines and forced him to confront his addiction head-on.
Four years later, Rob is not just sober but also on a mission to find purpose and passion in his life again. Moving 2,000 miles to Los Angeles, he reconnects with old friends and meets new ones, all while sharing their stories of recovery. In this episode of 'The Recovery Revolution', Rob opens up about his battle with addiction, the chaos it caused, and his journey towards sobriety.
He discusses the importance of making amends, embracing spirituality, and finding new meaning in life after addiction. Rob's story is a powerful reminder that no one is immune to addiction, but with determination and support, recovery is possible. Tune in to hear his inspiring journey and perhaps find some motivation for your own path to sobriety.
