Rob is a remarkable coach. The strategies and lessons he provided have inspired and motivated me to live an alcohol-free life full of passion and inspiration. He is truly one-of-a-kind and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an intuitive, sincere, and deeply passionate coach.

Rob creates a safe environment where growth happens naturally. Positive things happen in such a natural way without you realizing what is happening. I look back now and realize how wonderful his program has been for me. I feel more connection, confidence, positive thinking, and my alcohol-free lifestyle has been solidified.

I can't speak highly enough of Rob’s capabilities. On top on an addiction to alcohol, I was dealing with trauma, anxiety, self-worth issues, and a whole lot of confusion. He shined the light in the exact right places and for the first time I was able to see clearly.

Here is what makes The Recover Freedom Program unique and uniquely effective.
Together, we will craft a program specially designed for your lifestyle, needs, and values. We will comprehensively assess your situation, drinking habits, personal history, and overall well-being, so that we can create a plan best tailored to you and your goals. We may also consider whether the True Freedom Small Group Program might be a good fit for you.
We’ll get right to the root of your problems and launch a plan to do something about it immediately, moving towards your goals as soon as possible.
A drinking habit is simply a problem to be solved, not a character defect, an incurable disease, nor a label you must carry around for the rest of your life. We will undo any shame you may feel as we undo your habit.
Understanding the science of alcohol helps demystify its status as an “all-powerful” substance. Knowing how it works with your biology helps us discover how you’ll best overcome your habit. Employing the latest in psychology and neurobiology, you’ll learn to manage your thoughts and feelings, unleash the power of positive emotions, and disempower any negative energy you picked up along with your habit. You’ll “rewire” your neural pathways to regain your freedom and learn to move from “fight or flight” to calm confidence. The science of self-compassion will help you have a comfier landing.
It’s never just about the drinking. As we consider your overall health and well-being, you’ll take full advantage of a program that takes care of your mental, physical, and emotional wellness. This is not school—you won’t be given “busy work” nor be given a grade. Rather, we will agree on simple and regular practices that are doable, attractive to you, and that make healthier habits your new normal.
Alcohol is not your friend. This program helps you revitalize and nurture your actual friendships along with your relationships with your family and loved ones. You’ll learn to inject more authenticity into your interactions while getting YOUR needs met, setting clearer boundaries, and finding mutual fulfillment with the people in your life.
Some folks experience heavier drinking as a time of “suspended animation.” This program reanimates aspects of your life that feel stuck. You’ll learn to practice true self-care, on your terms, in ways that enhance your abilities to create, to accomplish, and to enjoy your life to the fullest.
The program provides as much ongoing support and guidance as you need, at a frequency that matches your pace and progress. You’ll schedule one-on-one sessions at your discretion, with check-ins to evaluate and adjust your program as needed. Follow-up includes personalized notes capturing the main points and strategies from the session. 24/7 text support available on request.
Get the tools and support necessary to not only control your drinking but to also achieve significant personal growth, become a better version of yourself and build a life full of new, healthier pleasures and possibilities.
Breaking an unwanted habit is not a linear process. But most people move through certain stages on their way to finding freedom. This is not a set of rote steps to follow, nor a scale to judge yourself by. Instead, see this as a sign of hope and possibility—a road map you can use as you let go of habits that aren’t in alignment with your dreams.
Act 1 – Using willpower, feeling unsuccessful
Willpower is necessary when breaking an undesirable habit. But because willpower has its limits, it is an insufficient way to find full freedom. Those who rely solely on willpower spend their lives “white knuckling it” – living under the constant threat of being “one drink away from the grave.” That’s no way to live.
Act 2 – Using willpower, feeling successful
Through planning, instruction, and guidance, you will learn to focus your willpower in ways that feel more productive. You begin to build confidence in your ability to succeed. Each small win is a significant step towards your goal.
Act 3 – Mindfulness
Mindfulness involves your ability to focus your will. As you deepen your exploration of mindfulness practice, you get a glimpse of how powerful you can be. This is different than accepting lifelong powerlessness over alcohol. This is key to your victory.
Recover Freedom offers the most comprehensive program available for breaking unwanted habits—expanding upon the best existing methods and taking the work further into the land of results that may astonish you.
Rather than follow a “one-size-fits-all” set of steps or be herded into a group with hundreds of people, you’ll benefit from a program tailored just for you, including your own “toolkit” of procedures and strategies that we’ll create together, then implement and refine, to find the right keys to open the possibilities you desire.
You’ll receive my enthusiastic support and encouragement, directly targeted to your wishes. You’ll be truly seen for who you are, truly heard and understood for what you value, and shown how truly capable you are of achieving your aspirations.
I’ll do all I can to help you stay on track. But accountability here isn’t someone looking over your shoulder to make sure you “did it right,” or chiding you if you “got it wrong.” I will walk with you step-by-step, as we take an objective account of your progress without recrimination.
Here, you can say anything you like in complete confidentiality without fear of negative repercussions. There’s no condemnation here—only understanding. It’s remarkable how healing it is to receive the undivided attention of someone holding you in unconditional positive regard. You won’t be interrupted by unwanted advice or irrelevant rhetoric. I will never judge you nor act like I know how to run your life better than you do.
By learning to completely reprogram your predisposition to alcohol, you’ll learn to manage your thoughts in ways you didn’t think were possible. You’ll practice a method of mindfulness that yields concrete results. Your mind becomes a tool you use for your benefit, rather than a minefield of turmoil and anxiety.
As you increase your emotional efficacy, you’ll learn to manage stress, reduce anxiety, and alleviate depression. Exercising emotional self-care, you’ll learn to navigate all situations with a newfound sense of inner balance. Negative self-talk turns positive. “I’m not enough,” gives way to a sense of your true value.
As you build self-trust, you increase the trust of those around you. Taking responsibility for and solving (rather than avoiding) your life challenges will increase your confidence at home, at work, and in social situations. You’ll feel more peacefully empowered rather than fighting the fear of failure forever.

Unsuccessfully controlling an alcohol habit invites hopelessness. Under the influence, there’s a fine line between feeling like you’re failing and feeling like a failure. I vividly remember such feelings. This program is the only one that offered me hope that I could get where I wanted to go. Here, you’ll strengthen your ability to set and reach your goals, generating a “can-do” attitude, where there is no failure.
As your sense-of-self deepens, your self-assurance increases. As you better understand and manage your inner workings, you’ll experience pride in your accomplishments and strengthen your confidence. Guilt, shame, and self-recrimination surrender to forgiveness, self-compassion, and inner peace. You’ll reconnect with your sense of purpose as we unveil a better more authentic version of you.
I’ve saved nearly $26,000 cutting alcohol out of my budget. But this windfall is not the only way abundance will show up for you. Breaking the bonds of your habit can help you break what holds you back from career advancement, financial prosperity, and from living in constant “not-enoughness.” Getting a toxic substance out of your system also has myriad health benefits. And detoxifying will help you get closer to your loved ones and better enjoy the riches of true and authentic relationships.
We will change up the outside-in approach (drink this fluid and THEN you will be happy), instead shifting your locus of control to inside yourself to realize that you are the source of your happiness. By learning how to change your state of being without artificial means, you’ll find true comfort and joy instead of seeking it in a bottle.
The alcohol industry advertises drinking as the key to happiness. Alcohol is SO ubiquitous; it’s virtually poured down our throats from day one. It takes a lot to swim against this tide.
Whether or not you want alcohol to be part of your life,
what you will gain from this program is...
THE ABILITY TO MAKE YOUR CHOICE FREELY!
The alcohol industry advertises drinking as the key to happiness. Alcohol is SO ubiquitous; it’s virtually poured down our throats from day one. It takes a lot to swim against this tide.
Whether or not you want alcohol to be part of your life,
what you will gain from this program is...
THE ABILITY TO MAKE YOUR CHOICE FREELY!
You’ll choose not out of habit, nor because you’re searching for self-medication, feeling peer pressure, or anything else other than you simply want to enjoy a drink.
Or maybe you’ll find that you are enjoying yourself just fine without it.
By adapting, strengthening, and maintaining an Alcohol-Free mindset,
you can create a life that is
MORE FUN WITH OR WITHOUT ALCOHOL.
By understanding and overcoming the root causes of your drinking problem,
you can become
A BETTER VERSION OF YOURSELF.
You’ll have the pride that comes from accomplishment, the satisfaction of knowing you’re making the healthiest choice, and the joy of connecting with an exuberant Alcohol-Free community that is anything but anonymous.
Many people fear what they’d miss if they gave up drinking. Would you miss the inner turmoil, the cravings, the out-of-control behaviors that leave you confused, ashamed, or angry at yourself, the restless nights, the hangovers, or the feeling of being trapped in something you can’t control?
Instead, think about what you’d gain….
Better health, a clearer mind, increased confidence, restored trust and integrity, responsibility for your positive emotions, and the power to transform your outer world for the better rather than be buffeted about by life’s slings and arrows.
Now you may be saying to yourself, “Whoa! That’s a lot of benefits there Rob, can you guarantee all of this?!”
No, I can’t.
I don’t have a magic wand, that’s not the way it works.
My superpower is empowerment. My job is to empower YOU.

My promise is that as you clarify your intentions and commit fully to your path,
I WILL ABSOLUTELY HELP GET YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO GO!
And the gifts you gain in this program will last you a lifetime.
My confidence comes from the results I’ve seen in my own life, and from seeing hundreds of others who have had similar successes. I know that freedom is possible for you, and that you, like me, can realize goals you may not even have allowed yourself to consider.
So, join me. You don’t have to wear a big A on your forehead, jump through a bunch of hoops, nor do anything that doesn’t align with your deepest values or your fondest dreams. Just let go of that sloshing bag of rocks you’ve been carrying. Make alcohol small and unimportant in your life. And feel the lightness that comes with True Freedom.
Founder, Recover Freedom
From former drunk to alcohol-free badass, I’ve become fiercely dedicated to helping you create a life so wonderful that you’ll never want to “numb out” again.
For most of my life, I was what you’d call a “normal” drinker—drinking for fun, special occasions, a good time. And I loved it. But eventually, I began drinking for self-medication. My drinking became less about having a good time and more of a failed attempt not to have a bad time. It began to affect my relationships, health, productivity, and personality in ways that frightened me. I had a problem. Had I become an alcoholic?! I searched for a solution.
After seeing four substance abuse counselors (who couldn’t help me) and attending a bunch of uncomfortable and unproductive recovery group meetings, I finally found a program that was so effective that I now have absolutely no desire to drink. There’s no struggling, no self-blame, no regrets. It’s my pleasure to present this program to you.
Alcohol is no longer a necessary part of my life. This is a miracle, given how dependent I used to be on the stuff. Since going alcohol-free, I am happier, healthier, more present, and more productive than I've ever been!
I have applied over 30 years’ experience as an Educator, Social Scientist, and a Senior Naked Mind Coach, to found Recover Freedom, one of the most successful programs in the recovery space. I have helped thousands of people find freedom from the misery of heavy drinking. My life-transforming programs will not only help you manage your drinking but will also help you resolve any life issue or achieve any life goal that you desire.

I have never felt a professional support person was as invested in me as Rob is."
– A.M. Toulon, France
"I recently had a slip up after months of being alcohol free. I thought I had worked through all my issues surrounding alcohol. I was stunned and so sad. I reached out to Rob - best thing I could have ever done. In just three sessions he was able to help me dig deep and find a belief I had around alcohol that was holding me back from total freedom."

"Rob is the easiest person in the world to talk to. He is humble, knowledgeable about so many things, trustworthy, and he truly cares about people.

The structure of his program fosters a lasting impact. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone who is seeking clear and substantial guidance towards breaking free from your current obstacles and achieving positive change."
– M.M. St. Louis, MO
"A therapist could drag this out forever. And you don't do that. You cut to the chase and get to the progress I need so I can benefit. You help me dig out the answers in a natural way. I find out that I have the answers but didn't know it until you asked the right questions to bring it out."
– M.N. Gainesville, FL

Recover Freedom offers a modern, personalized, science-based and heart-centered approach that integrates current research, mindfulness practices, and holistic personal growth strategies. The program is tailored to your unique needs, providing continuous support to enhance your overall well-being, rebuild self-trust, and create a gratifying, well-balanced life you’ll love.
At last contact, 50% of my clients reported they are completely free of alcohol while 9% did not experience success with my program. The remaining 41% are either currently in process, are drinking much less, or haven’t been recently in touch. These statistics are significantly superior to other programs. But effectiveness here is also measured by the quality of the outcomes achieved—the inner peace that comes with absolute freedom from alcohol, the coping skills that lead to benefits beyond sobriety, and the priceless improvements my clients have reported in many various areas of their lives.
Simply show up for your sessions. This is enough for the program to work. How much additional work you put in is up to you, based on what feels right.
Duration will vary based on your individual needs. Typically, clients purchase sessions in packages of 4, 8, or 12. Once purchased, these are yours to schedule at the pace you require.
Absolutely not. This program is designed so that you WON’T have to go to meetings forever out of fear that otherwise, all will be lost. Once we find your foundation of freedom, nothing can take it away from you. My job is to eventually make alcohol, and myself, nonessential.
Yes, my program is perfect for you if you’ve found traditional methods like rehab, therapy, or AA frustrating, ineffective or unappealing. I offer a range of methods and strategies so that we can discover what works best for you.
