For me, the reason why I asked god how I can be of service in the morning- and I thank god at the end of the day- is because I know that I cannot do this on my own, and I know that the only way that I'm going to be of any, the only way I'm going to be healthy and stay sober, is if I think of other people first.
Picture this: a firefighter battling more than just flames. In this episode of Rick Radio, host Rick sits down with an extraordinary guest who opens up about his tumultuous journey through life, sobriety, and the mental health challenges that come with it.

The guest shares candid reflections on how his dream job as a firefighter became intertwined with his struggles with alcohol, leading him down a perilous path. But it's not all doom and gloom.

The guest reveals how putting others first became a cornerstone of his sobriety.
Whether it's helping fellow firefighters or supporting others in recovery, his story highlights the healing power of service. You'll also hear about the profound impact sobriety has had on his personal relationships, including meeting his wife during his recovery journey.
