It’s time to expose the brutal truth about what happens when a critical incident shatters a law enforcement officer’s life.

Think police are invincible? Think again. The silent battle Adam Meyers — Stop the Threat, Stop the Stigma — faced after an on-duty shooting in 2016 will shock you. His journey reveals a side of policing—and recovery—you've never seen.

In this, listen-to-learn episode of the Share Life podcast, you’ll discover:

  • Why "coping" turned into a terrifying spiral of self-destruction, from alcoholism and drug abuse to casual sex and self-harm.
  • The unexpected reason Adam lied to his police chief and deliberately injured himself to avoid work.
  • The "rock bottom" moment that involved a social media rant and a beloved pastor.
  • How a single, honest decision during a psychological evaluation changed everything.

Are you making the fatal mistake of suffering in silence?
