Changing my behavior is how I made things right. You know, we haven't seen you twist off for quite some time. And when you have a promise that you've made to yourself, that you keep Every Single Day, that is where self-esteem starts to build, because trauma, injuries, alcohol, any substance abuse, ptsd- they are hell on self-esteem.
Imagine finding yourself hesitant to join a peer support group, only to discover it becomes a cornerstone of your recovery. This is exactly what happened to Mark Meincke, the creator and host of Operation Tango Romeo, the Trauma Recovery Podcast. In this episode of 'Hard Knox Talks: Sober Stories. Real Talk.', Mark sits down with host Daniel Unmanageable to share his compelling journey through trauma recovery and substance use.
