Not knowing how to live kills more people of addiction then I care to count. Of all the addictions that I have had and recovered from they all appeared just to be a diversion to the real problem. The real problem was I did not know how to live. I did not know how to receive and I did not know how to give. The pain of being stuck in the middle was so great that I had to find a way to medicate and escape. As I became chronically addicted, I learned that my escape was, in reality, my jail. After my relapse, back in April 1986 I came to believe that the addiction to the substances and behaviors was an aversion to what my real problem was. My real problem was that I did not know how to live. I had to solve that problem or die. If this is something that you were struggling with, please let me know so I can be of assistance to you. God, bless you in all that you do. Go to the Patreon page to support this recovery movement.

Robert is the Recovery Guy. Getting clean and sober on April 25, 1986 has given me the insight and practical skill set to not only stay sober, but to also re-invent myself to the person I always wanted to become. Showing others how to do this is my life goal.
