#24 The Menlo Park Chronicles-Days of Darkness; The Whole Story
This episode is dedicated to the loving memory of my favorite amazing therapist Christine Loeber. Go to https://www.christinemloeberfoundation.org/christinesstory to learn about her wonderful life. Several traumatic experiences in High School lead to early bouts with opioid addiction, which I managed to keep at bay while answering a generational call to wartime service. Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, I enlisted in the US Army, surviving extensive Combat action during two tours in Afghanistan with the most elite Special Operations Forces. Transition to civilian life brought severe struggles with Post-Traumatic Stress and a vicious reemergence of my addiction.\nI fought through seemingly insurmountable obstacles that included waiting months to see a mental health professional after being placed on the Phoenix VA\u2019s scandalous secret waiting list. An outrageous arrest and incarceration on grossly unwarranted criminal charges preceded the first of several rock bottom experiences.\xa0\nThis episode dives deep into the Menlo Park Chronicles. Narrowly escaping limb amputation and death from a serious bacterial infection caused by IV drug use, that spread throughout my body, gave way to miraculous redemption through the grace of Jesus Christ.
