Unmasking Strength: Eran's Battle with Addiction and Triumph in Veteran Sobriety
22 May 2024
Send us a textWhen faced with the demons of addiction, it's the warriors among us who often find it hardest to reach out for the shield of support. Step into the boots of Eran, a veteran turned guardian for those grappling with substance abuse, as he recounts his journey from the depths of addiction to the heights of 35-year sobriety. With unflinching honesty, Eran, who has channeled his experiences into becoming a certified drug and alcohol counselor, provides a rare glimpse into the silent struggles many servicemen and women endure.Venturing beyond Eran's personal odyssey, we grapple with the broader plight of veterans transitioning to civilian life—where the battlefield is within and the enemy, invisible. We shed light on the nuanced therapies that offer healing beyond conventional counseling, such as brain spotting and EMDR, and dispel the myths of seeking help as a sign of weakness. It's a candid exploration of the courage required to unmask vulnerabilities, the resilience needed to combat the stigma of mental health, and the communal embrace essential for recovery. Engage with us as we honor the valor not just in service, but in the bravery of healing.Support the show
