Recovery is not just a state of mind, it's a way of life sourced from your heart.
What happens when the chaos of war intersects with personal battles of addiction? In this episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg bring together a panel of Vietnam War veterans to share their poignant stories. These veterans talk candidly about the 'substance rich environment' they encountered during their service and how it propelled their struggles with addiction. They are quick to point out that while the war didn't cause their addiction, it certainly didn't help.
Each veteran recounts their own turning points, moments that led them to seek recovery, and the ongoing journey that followed. They also delve into the cultural aspects of substance use and the crucial role of support systems in their recovery. This episode is not just about the dark times but also about hope, resilience, and the power of community. If you're looking for stories that resonate with strength and vulnerability, this episode offers both in abundance.
