Curmudgeon’s Corner 74: Keith Shibley | From FBI Task Force to PTSD, Addiction & Redemption

Keith Shibley | From FBI Task Force to PTSD, Addiction & Redemption Some people run toward danger for a living. Keith Shibley was one of them. Starting his career with the Virginia Port Authority Police, Keith later transitioned to the Richmond Police Department — where violence, shootings, and high-stakes calls were routine. Eventually returning to the Port Authority, he was selected for an FBI task force, responding to domestic terrorism threats, federal investigations, and some of the most intense criminal activity imaginable. On the outside, he was protecting the public. On the inside, the trauma was stacking up. Years of front-line exposure led to crippling PTSD. Painkillers became survival. Alcohol became escape. And all of it happened while still wearing the badge. His life — and career — were on the brink. Instead of losing everything, Keith made the hardest decision of his life: He asked for help. Tonight, we talk about: • The unseen cost of law enforcement • Trauma that follows you home • Addiction as coping, not weakness • Identity after the badge • The moment you decide to live differently • Recovery, redemption, and purpose This episode isn’t about headlines. It’s about what happens after the sirens stop. 🔗 Connect with Keith Shibley Facebook: Keith Shibley Instagram: @keithshibley Instagram: @official_mindovermadness YouTube: @mindovermadnessmom 🧠 If You’re Struggling If you are battling trauma, addiction, depression, or thoughts of self-harm — please hear this: You are not weak.
