Rob is a former Correction Department Addiction Services Program Director with a Master's Degree in Counseling, and is a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in the State of Texas. He is Principal Associate of Alpha & Omega Counseling Associates, and currently operates an internet counseling website at "aodrugfree.com". For over fifteen years, he has counseled all kinds of clients in many different settings and is co-author of "Spirituality: The Key to Recovery from Alcoholism", published in "Counseling and Values", April 1996. Rob sees a "spiritual awakening" as the most critical, yet most overlooked need in drug abuse treatment. His specialty is relapse prevention, addressing what he considers the root cause of addiction and relapse, "negative spirituality", wherein attitudes of fear, judgmentalism, and distrust create unhappy relationships with one's self, others, the world, life, and Higher Power, frustrating satisfaction of basic human needs and leading to drug abuse. Through education, behavioral change, and reality testing, Rob gently but firmly helps clients develop "Positive Spirituality" attitudes of unconditional love, acceptance, and trust, through which vital relationships become more satisfying, basic needs are met, and drugs lose their appeal. When not counseling clients, Rob can be found riding his motorcycle, romancing his new wife, studying history, philosophy or theology, singing, or playing the highland bagpipe.
