Being sober, I had to process through and still processing through all the stuff from Years Ago, not just childhood, but from the military.
Military life comes with its own set of challenges, and for Jeremy, it meant grappling with addiction while serving. In this episode of 'The Sober Pod', hosts Sam, Devin, and Chris sit down with Jeremy to explore his journey through the highs and lows of military service, addiction, and recovery. Jeremy opens up about the heavy toll of loss and trauma, sharing how his drinking and drug use spiraled during his time in the army.
He candidly discusses the struggle to maintain a façade of strength amidst toxic masculinity and the ultimate need for vulnerability in the recovery process. One of the standout moments in this conversation is Jeremy’s reflection on processing past trauma. He explains how sobriety forced him to confront not just childhood issues but also the painful memories from his military service.
His story is a powerful reminder that recovery is not just about quitting substances; it’s about healing from the past and seeking support from others who understand. Despite the serious subject matter, the hosts and Jeremy manage to infuse humor into their discussion. They touch on everything from strip clubs in Fort Riley, Kansas, to the peculiarities of soju, a popular Korean rice liquor. This blend of light-hearted banter and deep conversation makes for an engaging listen.
Listeners will find Jeremy’s honesty and resilience inspiring. His journey underscores the importance of community and support in overcoming addiction. As he poignantly asks, 'What is right here right now that I have to deal with?' This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the unique challenges of addiction in the military and the path to recovery.
