So happy to introduce you to my new Assistant Coach, Bobby! 

On this week's episode, you'll get to hear his story AND hear the two of us offer coaching advice to real listener letters.

Bobby's powerful story of facing arrest, finding peace in surrender, and rebuilding his life offers insights for your own path.

Understanding the Cycle of Addiction and Recovery

Bobby's journey illustrates how addiction often follows predictable patterns while recovery requires breaking those cycles.

The transition from using at specific times (summers, weekends) to daily dependency reflects how addiction progressively consumes more of our lives.

His arrest became the intervention that forced change—sometimes we need life to create boundaries when we cannot.
