I have to tell myself is that the last years of my life have had many, many ups and downs, but they're not the years that I want the next years. I want the next years to be outstanding and I want to be able to have years where I look back and I go man, I did it.
What happens when a tough-as-nails Navy SEAL finds himself grappling with addiction? In this episode of 'Addiction Talk', Dan Cerillo opens up about his battle with chronic pain, alcohol, and prescription drugs. After a severe combat injury left him in constant agony, Dan turned to substances to numb the pain, a choice that took a toll on his relationships and self-worth. Dan's story is a raw and honest look at the struggle many veterans face.
He candidly discusses the stigma surrounding addiction in the military and how it often prevents those in need from seeking help. With the support of American Addiction Centers, Dan found the courage to ask for help and begin his journey to sobriety.

Dan's journey from addiction to recovery is not just inspiring; it's a testament to the strength and resilience of those who serve. By sharing his experiences, he aims to break down the walls of shame and stigma, encouraging others to seek the help they deserve.
