Sober living homes for the first time... was the absolute best decision he ever made in his life.
Bob Apple had it all—a thriving career, a loving family, and a bright future. But addiction doesn't discriminate. At 55, Bob's life spiraled out of control due to alcohol and prescription drugs. After multiple failed attempts at rehab, he found himself at rock bottom, unrecognizable and isolated from his loved ones. In this eye-opening episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, host Omar Pinto sits down with Bob to discuss his tumultuous journey and how sober living homes became his lifeline.
Bob opens up about his initial struggles with traditional rehab programs and why they fell short for him. It wasn't until he discovered the structured and supportive environment of sober living homes that he began to see real change. Spending over two years in such a home, Bob found not just sobriety but a sense of community and purpose. Now a house manager and recovery blogger, Bob emphasizes the importance of communication and mentorship in the recovery process.
He shares practical advice for those battling addiction, stressing the value of accepting help and building a support network. Bob also highlights a book that played a crucial role in his recovery journey and discusses the evolving landscape of sober living homes. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or know someone who is, Bob's story offers a beacon of hope. His experiences underline the transformative power of finding the right support system and the importance of never giving up.
Tune in to hear Bob's inspiring tale of resilience and recovery.
