Welcome to RBWR Recovery Coaching.
Turning Rock Bottom Into Revival
At RBWR Recovery Coaching, I help men and women who feel trapped between wanting sobriety and fearing who they’ll become without drugs or alcohol. I understand what it’s like to use substances as a way to feel confident, social, accepted, or simply okay enough to get through daily life. For years, alcohol and drugs became my solution for anxiety, depression, insecurity, loneliness, and the pressure of trying to fit in or be “the life of the party.”
Like many people struggling with addiction, I was terrified that getting sober would mean losing my personality, my confidence, my social life, and my sense of identity. I worried life would become dull, lonely, and emotionally overwhelming without substances to lean on. What I eventually discovered through recovery is that sobriety doesn’t take away who you are — it gives you the opportunity to become an even stronger, healthier, and more authentic version of yourself than addiction ever allowed you to be.
The mission of RBWR Recovery Coaching is to help people rebuild structure, confidence, discipline, and self-worth while still feeling like themselves. Through fitness, recovery principles, mindset work, healthy routines, accountability, sound baths, community support, and honest conversations through my podcast Rock Bottom With Ryan, I help clients begin creating a life they no longer feel the need to escape from. Recovery is not about becoming perfect overnight. It’s about learning how to face life with clarity, balance, self-awareness, and purpose one day at a time.
I’m qualified to help others because I’ve personally lived through the chaos of alcoholism and addiction for over 17 years. I attempted and failed to get sober many times and experienced countless relapses, setbacks, and so-called “rock bottoms.” Along the way, I learned firsthand what helped me grow and what repeatedly pulled me backward. I spent years working with psychiatrists, counselors, medications, and treatment approaches while also studying psychology for four years at the university level. Eventually, after attending a transformative 45-day treatment program, I began learning how to slowly face myself honestly for the first time in nearly two decades and commit fully to recovery without trying to completely change my entire life overnight.
Over the last two years, I’ve continued building my recovery through Alcoholics Anonymous, fitness, service work, and meaningful relationships with hundreds of people navigating their own recovery journeys. Through my podcast, I’ve interviewed and spoken with over 100 individuals about addiction, mental health, trauma, relapse, recovery, and personal transformation. My experience is not based only on textbooks or theories — it comes from lived experience, ongoing growth, and a genuine passion for helping others realize that recovery does not end your life. In many ways, it’s where your real life finally begins.
