Today, I sit down with Massimo Rigotti to explore how confidence plays a vital role in recovery from addiction. We discuss his personal journey through addiction, rehab, and AA, and how those experiences led him to develop what he calls the "Flavors of Confidence." This unique framework eventually evolved into what he now shares as The SOBER Method.
Mr. Rigotti explains how The SOBER Method—Stoic, Observe, Behavior, Execute, Restore—is designed as a continuous improvement process for personal growth and sustained sobriety. He highlights the importance of mindset, identity, and finding purpose beyond simply "not drinking" or "not using." Together, we break down why traditional methods may not work for everyone and how his approach reframes recovery as an empowering and individualized process.
We also touch on critical issues like how confidence is often damaged during addiction, the power of positive affirmations, and the role of stoicism in building resilience. Mr. Rigotti shares stories from his speaking engagements, his books, and how the SOBER Method has even been applied to challenges like device or food addictions.
