Combat Vet’s Memoir Looks Candidly at Substance Abuse, PTSD and Healing

Follow me on Instagram! I’d love to hear what you think about the episode topics 🙂

Today I’m speaking with Bob Stark. He is a combat vet, an author, a family man, a person in long term recovery. Bob shares his story of growing up without a Father, his Mother’s multiple marriages, and the one that altered his identity and how all of this set the stage for substance use disorder. That along with 2 tours in Afghanistan and the inevitable resulting PTSD, took him down a dark path. His mother would warn him that it looked a lot like his grandfather’s path who was a vietnam vet and died tragically young of cirrhosis of the liver.

He’s going to share how he was able to heal from PTSD through yoga, meditation, writing and the 12 steps. I liked Bob immediately when I met him and I love how he has transformed his life. I know you will too. So without further delay, please enjoy this episode, with Bob!
