Bobby Wiggins Turning Addiction into a Lifetime of Helping Others


Listen Later

Bobby Wiggins is a beacon of hope and transformation, rising from the depths of addiction to become a tireless advocate for recovery. Since finding his own path to sobriety through the Narconon Program in 1977, Bobby has dedicated his life to helping others break free from the chains of substance abuse.

For nearly four decades, Bobby has immersed himself in the field of addiction recovery, working hands-on in rehabilitation settings to guide drug addicts and alcoholics toward a brighter future. His impact is far-reaching and profound, with a remarkable track record of success.

Bobby's commitment to prevention is equally impressive. His dynamic drug education presentations have reached over 900,000 school children across five continents, igniting conversations and empowering young minds to make informed choices. Through audio-visual mediums, he has touched the lives of over 13 million students in thousands of schools throughout America.

His expertise has been recognized with accolades, including two Aurora Awards for his educational DVDs, "Ecstasy – The Real Story" (2006) and "Drugs & Emotions" (2015). Bobby's influence extends to digital platforms, where he is featured in the acclaimed series "The 10 Things Your Friends May Not Know About Drugs" on YouTube, garnering over 2 million views.

Bobby's impact transcends borders and industries. He has trained NFL alumni to deliver drug education in Northern CA, addressed Britain's House of Lords on substance abuse, and conducted programs at top universities in India. Bobby's dedication even led him to train agents for the Drug Enforcement Agency in the Philippines and educate pilots for the FAA in New England airports.

His commitment to education is underscored by the creation of a groundbreaking curriculum for high school students, validated by independent scientific study and published in a major medical journal. Recognized by the United States Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration, the Narconon Drug Education Program stands as an approved and evidence-based solution.

In recent years, Bobby has focused his efforts on shaping the future by working with youth detention centers and other youth groups in Florida, striving to reshape perceptions and prevent the cycle of addiction before it begins.

Bobby Wiggins's journey from addiction to advocacy is a testament to the power of resilience, compassion, and unwavering determination. His life's work continues to inspire hope, transform lives, and pave the way for a brighter, drug-free tomorrow.
