Lowe has openly shared his journey publicly, encouraging others who may need help.

In 2021, he told Variety:

"Nothing can make you get sober except you wanting to do it."

“The only way to stay in recovery is to be honest with yourself on a minute-by-minute basis. No secrets, no double life. And you have to get real."

His son, John Owen, also celebrated a sobriety milestone recently.

In fact, Rob presented his son with his 5-year sobriety chip on The Drew Barrymore Show.

Of finding his true self through recovery, Lowe shared:

"One of the great gifts of recovery is that you start living your authentic life. You start living your actual values and living as who you truly are."

"So it turns out this is who I am. It's a good character."

Congratulations on 33 years, Rob.
