In this powerful episode of Overcome: A Mental Health Podcast, host Travis White speaks with Massimo Rigotti, founder of The SOBER Method, about his incredible journey through bipolar disorder and sobriety.

Diagnosed with bipolar disorder in college, Massimo spent over 20 years using alcohol and cocaine to self-medicate. His addiction eventually led him to homelessness. But through a life-changing encounter and a tragic loss, Massimo chose a different path—and began a long-term transformation rooted in sobriety, self-awareness, and healing.

Together, we explore:

• How bipolar disorder and sobriety intersect in daily life and long-term recovery
• Why traditional 12-step programs didn’t work for Massimo—and how he created the SOBER Method as an alternative
• How lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and routine supported his mental stability
• Practical strategies for managing bipolar symptoms without medication
• The emotional toll of losing someone who believed in you—and using that loss as motivation to stay sober
• How to identify personal triggers and turn them into opportunities for growth

Massimo’s story is a testament to what’s possible when someone commits fully to healing from bipolar disorder and sobriety—from the inside out. Whether you're struggling with addiction, mood disorders, or searching for purpose, this episode offers insight, hope, and a realistic roadmap to change.

🎧 Listen now and remember: You’re not broken. You’re becoming.
