"My Kids Kept Me Alive" — A Firefighter's Journey Through Addiction and Recovery

Addiction, rock bottom, and a moment sitting in a truck staring at a telephone pole. For too many first responders, the weight of the job doesn't stay at the job. It follows you home, into your relationships, into your habits, and sometimes into places you never thought you'd find yourself.Jason Corthell is a fourth generation firefighter, Marine Corps veteran, and the founder of Ironclad Wellness. His path to building one of the most talked about first responder mental health programs in Texas ran straight through his own darkest chapter. In this conversation, he opens up about years of addiction and the moment that nearly ended everything, what finally turned it around, and why he believes the next generation of first responders has a real chance to change the culture for good.CONNECT WITH [email protected]://www.bellamedia.comhttps://www.bellamedia.com/firebreakFB + IG: @bella.media.txRESOURCES:IRONCLAD WELLNESSJason Corthellhttps://ironcladwellness.comLEADERSHIP WON BLOGHave confidential conversations about your struggles today.https://ironcladwellness.com/leadersh...GRACE & GUIDANCELona Snellhttps://www.elevateyourlifecounseling...832-242-9970CARRERA COUNSELING SERVICESPriscilla Carrerahttps://carreracounseling.com281-222-62471st Response ClinicDesi & Jerry Bittnerhttps://frfclinic.com936-231-8610
