Scuba Joe
from My blurred opinion · host Timothy West
Hello, Im Joe Gonzalez aka Scuba Joe a disabled Navy Seabee who’s seen his share of tragedies both on the battle field and off. Tragedies that have not only crushed me, my spirit, complete altered my way of life for the worse. After the 3rd time I couldnt help but ask, why? It truely never dawned on me that this (although accidents that were by my hand) it turned out it was!!! My ego, is what got me here. Yes, that doubled edge sword we all carry. The one that can save us or destroy us. I meet him face to face, while battling my PTSD and sitting with Ayahuasca. A game changer for me. Combined with my Vipassana medication practice I discovered a way to manage the demons in my head better. By embrassing them and too not allowing them to take over. Demons such as rage, depression, anxiety, addiction and revenge. I saw them as really bad roommates in my head, trying to own my space. But, they forget Im the landlord and its my place they are trying to monopolize. Thats not happening. Its a different take on complete on the AA or NA approach of complete abstinence, which I agree some folks do need to compelte remove the demons out. But some folks, like myself, learned they can better manage them this way and use that sharper edge, to build somehting great. TUrning a “mid life crisis” into a" mid life awakening!
