Imagine growing up thinking good deeds equaled a good life, and even a better relationship with God. That's how it started for this author. But then, life hit hard. As a young EMT, the raw, unfiltered pain they witnessed shook their faith and sense of self. Suddenly, the old rules didn't seem to apply. They tried to push through, work harder, but the emotional toll was too heavy, leading to isolation and a desperate turn to alcohol.
This escape route only made things worse, pushing away loved ones. It took a painful wake-up call from their partner—a choice between rehab and losing everything—to finally break the cycle. Through recovery, they discovered the power of human connection and faith, realizing healing comes from leaning on God and others. Now, with professional training and lived experience, they're dedicated to helping others, especially fellow first responders, find their way back to connection and healing through recovery coaching.
