You’re Clean But Life’s Still a Mess - Here’s Why

with Rob Reynolds

5:08

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.

About the Podcast

Rebuilding Life After Addiction is a weekly conversation for anyone walking the long road of recovery, and for the families walking it with them.

Hosted by Justin Franich and Robert Grant, two guys with over 40 years of combined recovery between them. Justin is a former meth addict who went through Teen Challenge in 2005, spent nearly two decades in recovery ministry leadership, and now helps families navigate addiction through content, referrals, and real talk. Robert served 18 years in prison before finding freedom through faith-based recovery. Today he leads family support calls at Shenandoah Valley Teen Challenge and brings a perspective that only comes from living it.

Each episode features honest conversations about faith, identity, and what it actually looks like to stay free. Not surface-level recovery talk. Not religious platitudes. Real stories from real people who've been in the pit and climbed out.

Whether you're rebuilding your own life, loving someone who is, or serving in ministry, this podcast is for you.
