Anchored In The Storm

The storm is real. This ship has taken a beating. And, for the first time in my life, I'm truly holding fast and steering steadily onward. Dave shares the heartbreaking story of a fellow treatment participant who lost her battle with mental illness, discusses his own decades-long struggle with suicidal thoughts, and challenges common misconceptions about suicide and mental health. He also opens up about recent hardships, including homelessness, financial struggles, losing his job, serious dental issues, and setbacks in school. Yet through it all, he explains how the tools he gained through treatment have allowed him to face adversity differently than ever before. This episode is ultimately a reminder that healing is possible, hope is real, and sometimes the bravest thing we can do is simply take the next right step forward.
