Finding True Joy: Garret Biss on Life After Addiction

I think we need to educate people both in the community and people like myself, who just don't know enough to have that conversation.
What happens when the uniform comes off and the battle isn't on the front lines but within? In this episode of 'Tapping Into The Human', host Alex Colyer sits down with Garret Biss, a former US Marine Corps Pilot turned author and speaker, to explore the journey of finding meaning and purpose after addiction. Garret opens up about the pressures of military life, where maintaining a facade of 'being okay' often masks deeper struggles.
He shares his own story of breaking free from these facades and discovering his true joy and purpose. The conversation touches on the critical role of education in reducing the stigma surrounding addiction and mental health. Garret emphasizes that addiction is often a way to cope with underlying issues, and tackling these root causes is essential for recovery.
Personal development and life enrichment are also key themes, as Garret discusses how building self-esteem can empower individuals to make lasting positive changes. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that with determination and support, it's possible to transform your life after addiction. Tune in for an inspiring chat that blends personal anecdotes with broader insights into recovery and mental health.
