Massimo Rigotti shares his journey of addiction and recovery, highlighting the challenges he faced and the progress he made. He started drinking to cope with bipolar disorder and eventually spiraled into addiction to alcohol and cocaine. He ended up homeless and even ran a makeshift taxi service for the homeless community. After the loss of his girlfriend to a drunk driver, he committed to sobriety and turned his life around. He found success in his professional life, achieving eight promotions in three years and becoming a general manager. Massimo emphasizes the importance of staying focused on the future and not dwelling on the past. Massimo Rigotti created the SOBER Method as a continuous improvement program for himself after realizing that he needed fulfillment internally. The method stands for Stoic Observe Behavior Execute and Restore and follows a continuous improvement cycle. Massimo ground the method in stoicism to make it more accessible and less off-putting than traditional 12-step programs. The method involves observing one's behavior, remapping behavior through cognitive behavior therapy, executing new behaviors, and restoring oneself through making amends and giving back. Massimo has written two books on the method and is launching the SOBER app on July 4th to create a supportive community for sobriety.
