Description
Can one decision to choose sobriety completely change the direction of your life?
In this inspiring episode of This Sober Vet, Navy Veteran Micah shares his deeply personal journey from growing up in a Navy family to serving in the military, battling alcoholism, overcoming emotional abuse, and confronting thoughts of suicide before choosing sobriety at just 25 years old.
