Hey friends,
Happy July 1st, and if you're looking for a reset this month, this one’s for you.
This week on Sober Banter, we’re joined by Dr. Robb Kelly, a no-nonsense addiction expert who blends neuroscience, spirituality, and trauma recovery to rewire the brain for lasting sobriety. He’s helped over 10,000 people recover through his 90-day program (which has a 98% success rate) and has been featured on The Doctors, Good Morning America, and now our little corner of the internet.
In this episode, we cover:
✅ Why alcohol isn’t the real problem - thinking is
✅ How unresolved childhood trauma fuels relapse
✅ Why brainspotting, breathwork, and subliminal tools work
✅ The science behind being “born alcoholic” vs. becoming addicted
✅ What Dr. Kelly means by “permanent recovery” (not just one day at a time)
✅ Plus: the biggest myths in the recovery world he’s ready to bust
