Men's Mental Health Finding Serenity Through Faith & Sobriety
💬 “Why I’m Still Sober—Men’s Mental Health, Faith & Finding Serenity” | Recovery & Gratitude Short
At the time of this recording, it’s Men’s Mental Health Month—and I want to speak directly to the guys out there who’ve been told to “tough it out” instead of talk it out.
As a recovered alcoholic and someone who's walked through OCD and a whole acronym salad of diagnoses, I’ve seen the darkest corners of the human mind—and by the grace of God, I’ve made it to the other side.
Yes, I’m a Christian. Yes, God is the reason I’m sober. Not willpower. Not hacks. Faith. Leaning in every single day.
Recovery isn’t always about giant breakthroughs. It’s about learning to live in that middle space—where the highs don’t launch you into mania and the lows don’t drag you into despair. That’s what I’ve found. That’s serenity.
