  • E39: Successful Recovery, Alcoholism, and Aggressive Truths
    May 26 2026

    Addiction is a complex issue that many face, and often the approaches to treatment can feel too soft or ineffective. If you’re searching for a more direct method to tackle addiction issues, you’re in the right place. In this discussion, we’ll explore tough love strategies that can make a real difference for those struggling with addiction. We’ll also delve into why these methods resonate and how they can lead to better outcomes.

    Dr Robb Kelly has accomplished something most never think will happen for them. He started by digging himself out of an early grave that he drank himself into, by first investing in himself, then investing everything in everyone else needing this same help.

    It was a great conversation and thank you Dr Robb for coming on the show. Always a pleasure.
