But having those three legs in your recovery program, your freedom plan, your transformational plan, whatever you might call it, with the help you're getting now, I call it a transformational plan of helping people put together a transformational plan for themselves and for the family.
Imagine balancing on a three-legged stool; each leg is crucial to keeping you steady. This metaphor perfectly captures Rob Lohman's approach to recovery. In this episode of 'Beyond the Bars', Rob, a seasoned recovery coach and interventionist, breaks down what he calls the '3-Legged Stool of Recovery'. Each leg represents a vital component: coaching, counseling, and community.
Rob's journey, which began with alcohol addiction at 14 and included a dramatic turning point involving a suicide attempt interrupted by his dog Jake, provides the backdrop for his insights. Coaching is the first leg. Rob explains that having a recovery coach can be a game-changer. Coaches offer guidance through the early stages of sobriety and provide ongoing support, helping individuals identify triggers and develop coping mechanisms to avoid relapse. The second leg is counseling.
Rob emphasizes that counseling digs into the root causes of addiction. It helps individuals develop strategies to manage cravings and navigate emotional triggers. Counseling is essential for uncovering underlying issues that contribute to addictive behaviors. Community forms the third leg. Rob shares how a supportive community can provide a sense of belonging and motivation. Whether it's through group meetings or informal networks, having people who understand your journey can make all the difference.
Rob also talks about the importance of shedding labels. He argues that identifying solely as an addict or former prisoner can keep people stuck. Instead, focusing on a transformational plan and viewing oneself beyond past labels can pave the way for true freedom from addiction. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the multifaceted approach needed for lasting sobriety. Rob's personal story and professional insights offer practical advice and hope for those navigating their own recovery journeys.
