I don't have any control, I don't want to drink, I'm really screwed up, I can't think straight, I need somebody else to make decisions for me.
Bobby G.'s story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, spanning 39 years of addiction, drug abuse, and alcoholism. Imagine starting your day in a crisp blue suit, only to end it in shackles. That's the stark contrast Bobby experienced as he navigated the treacherous waters of substance abuse. His tale is one of extreme excess, marked by multiple marriages, career losses, and several stints behind bars. Yet, it's also a story of resilience and recovery.
Bobby's candid recounting of his struggles offers a raw look at the impact of addiction on both personal and professional life. He doesn't shy away from discussing the challenges he faced, from the influence of role models to the dangers lurking in the music industry. But what stands out is his journey towards recovery. Bobby highlights the crucial role that support groups and literature played in helping him reclaim his life.
His reflections are not just about the past but also serve as a beacon for those on their own path to sobriety. With a mix of heartbreak and hope, this episode of The Recovery Revolution Podcast is a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction.
