The thing I realize is that if I don't understand who I am and define who I am through my faith, or let my faith define me, then guess what everyone around here is going to define me somehow.
What happens when faith, community, and gratitude come together on the road to recovery? In this episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast', Neil Scott chats with Rob Lohman, a fellow podcaster whose journey through addiction is nothing short of miraculous. Rob's story is filled with raw honesty as he recounts his struggles with addiction, including suicide attempts, numerous felonies, and even a stint in prison. Yet, his tale is also one of incredible perseverance and hope.
Rob opens up about how defining himself through faith rather than letting others do it for him was a game-changer. 'If I don't understand who I am and define who I am through my faith, or let my faith define me, then guess what everyone around here is going to define me somehow', he shares. This episode delves into the complexities of gambling addiction and its impact on the brain's pleasure centers, leading to emotional breakdowns and family strife.
But with faith and community support, Rob found his way out. He hasn't had a craving in almost a decade, attributing this to 'god and his divine intervention'. Rob also emphasizes the power of gratitude in his recovery, appreciating life's simple pleasures like breathing and having mental and physical capabilities. The conversation between Neil and Rob is not just inspiring; it's a testament to the strength found in faith, community, and gratitude.
Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers invaluable insights and encouragement.
