Living “The Sobering Life"
Rob Ekno has revived his life from a homeless alcoholic & cocaine addict, who now has more than 32-years clean & sober. Rob has a unique and inspiring way of helping fellow addicts to begin turning their lives around to live their best lives possible. Rob has worked with homeless and working class addicts, as well as Hollywood celebrities, all with improved success. In 2024, Rob's third book, and life’s testimony: Cruising Toward Heaven…Navigating From Rough Seas to Miraculous Adventurees, won the Gold Medal in the International Impact Book Awards for Addiction & Recovery.
If you or someone you know is struggling with an addiction, now is the time to begin turning your life around. We have all been created for an amazing purpose and are not fully defined or trapped by our past choices. Each of us, as God’s children, has value.
Rob Ekno is not a licensed counselor, rather, he brings his unique life experiences, along with his 32-plus years of sobriety to those he works with. Throughout his long-term sobriety, Rob has guided others in rebuilding their lives, whether having gone through a divorce, loss of finances, jail time, personal dilema’s, and more, due to their addictions.
There is no better time than now to begin making better choices and becoming the man that God created you to be. As Rob says: “If he continues to do it, then why not you too?”

Rob’s GPS is a bit outdated. So, as he landed in Atlanta to be a guest on a TV show, he kept getting sent in circles. Pulling into a gas station, he saw a police SUV parked and decided to ask for directions. Officer Joel Shumate of the Doraville PD, realized it would be challenging to detail the route. Thus, he said, “Follow me. Even though the station is out of my jurisdiction, I’ll take you there.” And right to the front door we went! Thank you, Joel, for not only serving, but being a great human being!
