Hello everyone and welcome back. Thank you for listening to the show. Please share with family and friends. A big thanks to YOU. Thank you for being part of the First Responder field. It takes a special breed to do what you do. Remember to always be safe. I struggled. I was in a dark place for a long time. I was in pain, and I masked it with alcohol. I was contemplating hurting myself. I finally decided to reach out and ask for help, and I am grateful I did. FHE Health and The Shatterproof Program saved my life. If you are struggling, you don’t have to stay there. We can and will help you.
