Rob Lowe Celebrates 33 Years of Sobriety: ‘My Life is Full of Love, Family, God’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Rob Lowe posted on his Instagram a photo of him in the ocean with the sunset behind him.
Lowe wrote, “33 years ago today I found recovery and a tribe that has sustained me on my incredible, grateful journey.”
“My life is full of love, family, God, opportunity, friends, work, dogs and fun,” he continued.
He concluded the post with encouragement for those struggling with addiction, “If you or someone you know is struggling with any form of addiction: hope and joy are waiting if you want it and are willing to work for it!”
John Owen who is Lowe’s son, recently shared how much of an inspiration his father has been since Owen’s own personal sobriety journey.
“On the most personal level possible, when I was struggling with addiction, he was always there for me,” Owen stated. “I credit that with being one, if not the main, reason I’m sober and living and healthy lifestyle.”
Moveiguide® recently reported Rob Lowe presenting his son John Owen with his five year sobriety chip:
During a recent appearance on THE DREW BARRYMORE SHOW, Rob Lowe celebrated a major milestone with his son, John Owen Lowe.
Host Drew Barrymore started the conversation by speaking about her own addiction issues and how she handles that when talking to her daughters.
“I’ve been really honest with my kids who are younger, but they know my story,” Barrymore said. “They know I can’t drink, like it’s just not for me. It doesn’t work for me.”
Lowe chimed in, saying, “To be able to share recovery — you know, you’re in recovery. I’m in recovery. I’ve got 33 years in recovery — changed our lives.”
“Johnny’s got five years. In fact, Johnny’s five-year birthday was on Saturday, and Johnny, I want to give you your five-year chip,” the actor continued. “I love you [and I’m] proud of you buddy.”
The father and son hugged and John said that he was “speechless.”
“I usually have a witty retort [but] I don’t have one for that,” John continued. “That was really nice of you.”
