God Took Me to Las Vegas
My mission with the God Took Me to Las Vegas podcast is to save lives and allow the person to Reveal the Lifestyle Champion within them.There are many different types of recovery programs, they all are aimed at helping those battling substance use disorders to transition from being harmed to being clean and sober. Anyone who’s battling a compulsive or destructive behavior wants to be healthy and they desire to live a happy and productive life. Sadly, only 1 in 10 Americans with a substance use disorder receives treatment. Why?Because it’s not safe to come forward and admit your challenges. The stigma is fueling an American public health crisis and we need to “Crush the Stigma!”Substance use disorders are associated with discrimination and social disapproval – more than any medical condition. These same people are often isolated, outcast, and even imprisoned. Stigma isolates people, it discourages them from seeking help, and even leads some medical providers to resist delivering evidence-based treatment services.

Rob Swymer is a TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and expert in resilience who has lived—and overcome—significant adversity. In his transformational book “Surrender to Your Adversity”, Rob opens up about some of the hardest chapters of his life: the unexpected loss of his beloved wife Bonnie, losing the sight in his left eye, and relocating to London in early 2020—just as the world shut down during the pandemic. His story is not just one of endurance, but of learning to let go, lean in, and lead forward with purpose.
