I knew I wanted to do two things in my life: I wanted to be a marine and I wanted to be a police officer. But when you start becoming a teenager and you also don't have guidance...I had a few people in my life that I think were able to impact me enough, along with The Marine Corps, to lead me down a completely different path than one where I might be.
Imagine living a life marked by continuous loss and trauma, yet finding the strength to rise above it all. That's the story of Gil Marksberry, who opens up about his incredible journey in this episode of 'Stigmatized'. From witnessing his father's destructive behavior as a child to grappling with his own struggles with addiction, Gil's life has been anything but easy.
But thanks to the Marine Corps and a few key people who believed in him, he found a way to steer clear of a path of destruction. Gil credits the military for saving him and giving him the discipline he needed to turn his life around. He also shares the ongoing impact of these experiences on his mental health, emphasizing the importance of support and guidance in overcoming adversity.
The conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics like the stigma surrounding mental health and addiction, and even touches on the role of law enforcement in promoting mental health awareness. Through it all, Gil remains committed to carrying the message of hope and resilience, urging others to seek help when they need it. His story is a powerful reminder that no matter how many times life knocks you down, it's possible to get back up and keep moving forward.
