How does a man go from 11 years sober to setting his own home on fire, facing 13 years in prison, and eventually dedicating his life to helping other families overcome addiction?In this episode, Divij sits down with Rob Lohman, addiction interventionist, speaker, author, and founder of Lifted From The Root, to hear one of the wildest stories we’ve ever had on the podcast.Rob opens up about his years battling alcohol, drugs, gambling, depression, and destructive behavior. After surviving a suicide attempt and getting sober, Rob thought the darkest chapter of his life was behind him. But 11 years into sobriety, while struggling privately with a gambling addiction, financial pressure, isolation, and his mental health, everything came crashing down.One night, Rob set boxes on fire outside his townhouse. The fire spread, a gas meter exploded, his family and neighbors were forced to evacuate, and Rob eventually found himself facing two arson charges and a 13-year prison sentence.He shares what really happened that night, what it was like walking into prison believing he might not see freedom for 13 years, how incarceration affected his wife and young children, and what happened when he was unexpectedly released after 10 and a half months.But Rob’s story didn’t end with prison.Today, he works directly with people and families battling addiction, leading interventions across the country and helping people confront alcohol dependency, drug use, gambling, pornography, destructive habits, and the deeper issues behind addiction.Rob takes us behind the scenes of real addiction interventions, including families staging surprise interventions, blocking cars, preparing rehab transportation in advance, dealing with people who refuse treatment, and even situations where guns have been pulled and police had to be called.Divij and Rob also have an incredibly personal conversation about what to do when someone you love refuses to change. How do you help an alcoholic who doesn’t believe they have a problem? When does support become enabling? Can you force someone into recovery? When should families establish boundaries? And what’s the difference between simply being sober and actually being transformed?Follow Divij!Instagram :https://www.instagram.com/divijvaswani?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@divijvaswani?_r=1&_t=ZT-92MP61DG6yz
