In this episode of the Recovery Matters podcast, Rob Decker of Rise as Lions shares his personal experience with trauma and addiction, emphasizing the importance of bringing traumas to light without judgment or shame. He recalls his own journey of recovery and the moment of clarity that led him to turn his life around. Rob discusses the reality of sobriety and how it involves ongoing work and mindfulness. He explains that his own childhood experiences of rejection, neglect, isolation, and abandonment had hindered his emotional development and led to his self-medication with drugs and alcohol. The speaker also shares the traumatic events from his childhood, including being told his father wasn't his real dad and being molested at a young age. Despite these challenges, the speaker is committed to helping others navigate their own traumas and learn to love themselves instead of turning to self-medication. This honest and candid conversation highlights the importance of ongoing healing and growth in the recovery journey.----Across the Web----
