Real Sobriety Podcast: The Healing Power of Connection
Connection with other people who are trying to overcome alcoholism and addictions of all types...This is why I always suggest that newcomers to recovery programs find a sponsor, or at least someone with some time in the program, and attach yourself to that person.
What happens when you combine a filmmaker's eye with a sobriety coach's heart? You get Robert McClellan's 'Real Sobriety Podcast'. In this episode, Robert opens up about his journey from a U.S. Navy rehab facility to becoming a beacon of hope for those battling addiction. He shares how his wife, Jill Heinerth, an acclaimed Canadian underwater explorer, played a pivotal role in his recovery by encouraging him to document his experiences.
This led to the award-winning documentary 'Real Sobriety' and eventually, this podcast. Robert believes that the essence of recovery lies in connection—connecting with others who are on the same path, with our families, and most importantly, with our true selves. He dives into the spiritual aspects of recovery, drawing from various belief systems to find what works best for each individual.
This episode also marks a new chapter for the Real Sobriety Podcast, aiming to break down the stigma surrounding addiction and offer a platform for people to share their stories. Robert's candid approach and heartfelt advice make this episode a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction. Whether you're looking for inspiration, practical tips, or just a sense of community, you'll find it here. So, tune in and remember—recovery is a journey best traveled together.
