Dr. Robb Kelly

In this episode of Pelham Place, I am joined by Dr. Robb Kelly, known as the Gordon Ramsey of the addiction world. Dr. Robb shares with us a powerful story of how he broke from the shackles of alcoholism. At the lowest point of his life, Dr. Robb found himself sleeping on the streets, begging and sometimes stealing so that he could find a way to get his next drink. One faithful day, Dr. Robb looked to the sky pleading for help, when just seconds later, a man carrying a bible took a chance on him and helped him start his recovery process. Fast forward to present day, Dr. Robb is paying it forward with his recovery program that has reached an astounding 97% success rate.
