Introducing the creator of The Bull and the Bear, Robert Aspinall, a Melbourne Australia native, who embodies the authentic, non-linear reality of long-term recovery. As a dedicated father of four boys, Robert deeply understands the challenge of balancing personal growth with the complexities of family life. His professional advocacy for enduring recovery is rooted in profound, lived experience:
Initial Sobriety: Robert began his journey in September 2001, achieving and maintaining sobriety for 15 years.
The Relapse & Resolve: He openly navigated a challenging two-year relapse period throughout most of 2016 and all of 2017.
Renewed Strength: Today, Robert celebrates 7 years of continuous sobriety since September 17, 2018—a milestone that was forged through renewed resolve.
He uses his powerful history to advocate for a form of recovery that is honest, imperfect, and ultimately enduring.
Robert’s Reflection on the Turning Point:
“For me, stopping drinking wasn’t a choice; it was a non-negotiable must-do. I had traveled too far down that path and needed to backtrack fiercely. The crushing weight of shame and guilt left me cornered, and the only way out was to get sober. I first got sober in September 2001, 24 years and one significant relapse ago. That two-year relapse, while painful, served only to strengthen my foundation. I have been continuously sober now since my second sober birthday, September 17, 2018.”
We will be launching his first course book Recovery Series and our new website this Tuesday as well as sharing some amazing offerings to support you on your Sobriety Journey. Also some incredible sober retreats we will be running in Costa Rica. So please follow along as we bring together an amazing community of men looking to up-level their sobriety journey and become the best version of themselves.
