About This Episode

You're sober but everything still feels chaotic. That's because you were programmed for chaos. Peace feels unfamiliar. Uncomfortable. Almost suspicious. Rob Reynolds and I talk about shame, identity, and why trauma keeps pulling you back even when you're not using. Rob shares his struggle with feeling inadequate because he never went to college. Sobriety is the start. It's not the finish line.

If this helped, help us reach the next family.
