The Marine Corps is incredibly good at putting together literally some of the world's most feared warriors. And yeah, you're right, man, I felt that way for a long time. And the next thing, I know I'm neck deep in a bunch of crime, you know, and it started out simple with- you know the typical stuff that meth addicts and drug addicts do, which was, you know, fraud, credit card crap, passing bad checks, burglaries, stealing stuff out of people's yards- somewhat low level stuff.
What happens when a disciplined Marine finds himself lost in civilian life? In this compelling episode of 'Chase The Vase', host Brock Bevell sits down with Chris Kling, a former United States Marine Sergeant who transitioned from military service to a life entangled with addiction and crime. Kling opens up about the challenges he faced after leaving the Marines, missing the structure and camaraderie that had once defined his life.
His journey took a dark turn as he struggled to adapt, leading him into a spiral of substance abuse and criminal activities, including robbing drug dealers to feed his habit. A turning point came in the form of an unexpected guardian angel—a Scottsdale Police Officer who saw potential in Chris and steered him towards recovery. This life-altering encounter set Chris on a new path, transforming him into a passionate advocate for addiction recovery.
Now a respected figure in the recovery community, Chris shares his experiences and insights on the importance of intervention and structured recovery programs. This episode isn't just about Chris's personal redemption; it's a testament to the power of support and the impact one person can have on another's life. Tune in for an inspiring story that underscores the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of recovery.
