Rob - who partied hard in his early career and started drinking heavily as a teen - quit the booze after entering rehab in 1990.
He has shared part of his incredible journey with his youngest son, after John Owen decided to go sober in 2018.
Discussing the experience on an episode of The View on April 3, 2023, Rob described how he felt "blessed" to help his child.
He said: "As any parent will tell you, the relationship that a teenager, 20-something, has with drugs and alcohol, it’s a precarious one.
"All you can do is lead by example and be there for when they’re ready. Because they’re never gonna do it for you, or for a job, or for a threat. Never. It’s only when they want it.
"I was super blessed that Johnny woke up one day and was like, ‘I’m ready.’
"And we have that together. I feel blessed to be in a recovery club with my son, hugely."
John Owen previously praised his father for his unwavering support as he worked towards sobriety.
He explained: "On the most personal level possible, when I was struggling with addiction, he was always there for me.
"I credit that with being one, if not the main, reason that I’m sober and living a healthy lifestyle."
What is John Owen Lowe known for?
John Owen's breakout role came in 2015, when he appeared in comedy series The Grinder - which also starred his father.
Two years later, he teamed up with Rob and his brother to explore a series of unsolved mysteries for the A&E series The Lowe Files.
The actor's first full-length movie role came in 2019, when he again played alongside his dad in Netflix's Holiday In The Wild.
John Owen also joined the writing team for the series 9-1-1: Lone Star, in which Rob again had a lead role.
He said: "I was kind of losing my mind a little bit because I felt like I didn’t like the proximity in which I was working with my dad so much.
"Not because of anything other than I wanted to branch out and do my own thing.
"And I would vent to my manager and agent on a weekly basis and tell them that I wanted to get out of my dad’s shadow and they would kind of just laugh at my misery."
But their close father-son relationship has ended up inspiring their latest project - which they both wrote and star in.
The duo have returned to screens for a new Netflix show called Unstable, which ironically explores the bond between a biotech genius and his son - who wants to escape his dad's shadow.
The series, which is a stellar example of art imitating life, premiered on March 30, 2023.
