When you are in combat fighting side-by-side with your brothers, you are seeing them in their highest form and at their absolute best. The dedication to the mission, their attention to detail and their unwavering discipline is inspiring. One of the hardest things I've ever had to witness was those same brothers, the same dedicated soldiers, spiraling out of control, losing their discipline, focus and drive to an addiction that turns them into a shell of the man they use to be. When on the battlefield under fire, you see these guys as invincible super heroes, but in reality, they are only humans and they are not immune to struggle or addiction.
In this episode I am joined by my brother, Paul Greene. Paul and I served together in Iraq in 2004 and 2005 in the 10th Mountain Division in Alpha Company of the 2nd Battalion 14th Infantry Regiment. Paul and I have stayed in touch over the years, but one day I noticed that something with him had changed. After struggling with addiction most of his adult life and during his time in the service, Paul is ready to open up and share his story and his struggle with the hopes of healing broken relationships and helping other veterans find the courage to get help.
If you are a veteran tired of struggling with addiction and are ready for some real help, click the link below! Paul is now three months sober with the help of this organization and you can be too!
