Army Veteran's Journey to Sobriety | Joe Yurick's Recovery Story
Description
How does an Army combat Veteran go from self-medicating with alcohol to building a mission centered on hope, recovery, and service?
In the very first episode of This Sober Vet, Army Veterans Joe Yurick and Dr. T introduce themselves, share how they served together during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and explain why they created a podcast dedicated to Veteran sobriety and recovery.
Joe opens up about his personal battle with alcohol addiction, the challenges he faced after military service, and the turning point that led him to choose sobriety. Together, Joe and Dr. T discuss the unique struggles many Veterans face with PTSD, trauma, mental health, and substance abuse—and why no Veteran should have to fight those battles alone.
Whether you're a Veteran, active-duty service member, first responder, family member, or someone seeking freedom from addiction, this episode offers hope that recovery is possible and that life after addiction can become your greatest mission.
