Compartmentalizing trauma is like putting a ticking time bomb inside of you. Eventually, it's going to explode and come out sideways.
Imagine facing the unimaginable on duty and then struggling with the aftermath. Keith, a former Sergeant with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, knows this all too well. In this gripping episode of 'Escaping Rock Bottom', Keith recounts the harrowing night when his partner was killed in the line of duty, an event that spiraled him into PTSD and alcoholism.
Keith's journey isn't just about the depths of his struggles; it's about the resilience and hope that brought him back to sobriety. He opens up about his multi-faceted approach to recovery, which includes writing his book 'From Sorrow to Amazing Grace'. Keith’s story is a beacon for anyone dealing with trauma and addiction, showing that it's possible to find a way out of the darkness.
Whether you're facing similar challenges or supporting someone who is, Keith's narrative offers valuable insights and inspiration.
