I’m a combat veteran in recovery. For a long time, I used alcohol and substances to cope with trauma, loss, and the weight of experiences I didn’t know how to process. What started as numbing turned into dependency, and it slowly took more than it ever gave back.
Today, I choose sobriety with intention. I value clarity, accountability, and emotional presence, especially as a father and as a man rebuilding his life with discipline and purpose. I’m here to stay grounded, learn from others, and contribute to a community that understands what recovery truly costs and why it’s worth protecting.
One day at a time.
