About Me

Robert Steenerson

March 20, 2010, my first son, Kamdyn, was born. March 27, 2010, I fell asleep with him on the couch, and he suffocated under my arm and passed away. From that moment, my life began to spiral out of control. I turned to drugs in an attempt to numb the pain and self-hatred I carried. Meth became my drug of choice—it seemed to help, until it didn’t. Eventually, I turned to IV use, which led me deeper into a criminal lifestyle. Felony after felony, I lived this way for over ten years. During that time, I was in and out of institutions—county jails, prisons, and countless treatment programs.

For more than half of those years, I woke up every day wanting to end it all. I thought I was fighting a battle I would never win. I believed the only way I could escape my addiction was through “lights out.” But then, I made a decision. I chose to enter treatment once more—this time with a different mindset. I was determined to understand who I was, why I kept repeating this cycle, and to try something I had never attempted before: internal work.

By doing the work I’ve shared on this website, I discovered my identity, found self-love, and regained hope for the future. This website is dedicated to Kamdyn and to helping others avoid the depths of pain and struggle I endured. This is my service work.

Someone is still using the phrases and words you spoke.
Someone is still laughing at a joke they learned from you.
Someone believes in friendship because they met you.
Someone still smiles when they remember a moment with you.
Someone is still listening to the music you introduced them to.
Someone remembers a compliment you gave them, and it boosts their confidence.
Someone admires you from afar and is inspired by you.
Someone learned how to love because of you.
Someone is still encouraged by the advice you once gave.
Someone has faith in your generation because of you.

The world needs you.
You may not always see it, but your presence changes lives.”*
