The Spiritually Expressed Human

Ep 10 - Addictions, Prison, and Faith - Getting Candid with Rob Lohman

Episode Summary

Special Guest Rob Lohman shares his deeply personal journey with drugs and alcohol and how his recovery led to prison and another rebuilding of his life in sobriety. This candid discussion dives into the conflict, living as a chameleon vs living authentically, and tapping into your spirituality with absolute belief and knowingness. Key Takeaways: When fully tapped in and connected, miracles can happen; knowing who you are and your spiritual being-ness allows you to define your life vs giving that power away externally to someone else; don't believe what is on paper - there is always more to the story. "When I can sit in my freedom to choose my response to whatever is happening, it's going to be more loving, compassionate, and caring than defensive, attacking, and hurt." —  Rob Lohman About Rob Lohman: Sober since 2001, Rob Lohman currently helps people suffering from substance abuse to find freedom from addiction and incarceration.  He does this through sharing his testimony, Professional Interventions and Recovery Coaching, Advocacy, Self-Published Author and being the host of Beyond The Bars Radio Podcast. Rob has been through the ringer, AND keeps bouncing back.  His rap sheet includes alcohol and drug addiction, gambling addiction, divorce, bankruptcies, mental health and suicide ideation, prison, recovery and transformation.  Rob's drinking career started at age 14 which led to some very dark places in his life.  The climax of Rob's drinking career happened on June 7, 2001 with a suicide attempt interrupted by the compassion of his dog, Jake.  Upon divine intervention, Rob was freed from his substance abuse addiction which began a rollercoaster ride in recovery...to which Rob has yet to take another drink or drug since that day.  In year eleven (11) of his sobriety journey, Rob had an emotional nervous breakdown which lead to a thirteen (13) year prison sentence, to which he was released in 10.5 months to a halfway house where he started to rebuild his life, along with his two children and wife who decided to remain married to Rob after the breakdown. Rob now invests in the lives of those wanting to see positive change, whether it is coming out of addiction, prison or just wanting more for their lives.  He is a dynamic speaker and shares an extremely powerful journey of persistence, faith and inspiration.
