On this episode, we sit down with Robert, who opens up about his journey through sobriety, the tough lessons he learned, and the reality of relapse. After completing treatment, Robert made the decision to go home early—something he now realizes was a mistake. Without the right foundation and support, he found himself slipping back into old patterns, leading to a relapse that he never saw coming.

But instead of letting that setback define him, Robert used it as a wake-up call. He shares why leaving treatment too soon wasn’t the right move, how relapse reshaped his perspective on recovery, and what he’s doing now to ensure he doesn’t make the same mistakes again. He dives deep into the sacrifices he’s making to put his sobriety first and the mindset shift that’s keeping him on track.

If you’ve ever struggled with the fear of relapse or wondered what it really takes to stay sober long-term, this episode is for you. Robert’s story is a raw, honest reminder that sometimes we have to fall to truly understand what it means to rise. Don’t miss it!
