This is Dick—he’s a US military veteran who did A, B, and C during his career and retired to Canada. After suffering through years of trauma and addiction, Dick joined the Homewood program that specializes in providing support to First Responders, Military and Veterans. Here’s what Dick had to say about his experience:
“Everyone has a different reason to stop drinking initially,” says Dick. “But you need to find reasons to keep sober too. Use the time you haven’t had a drink as proof to yourself that you can do it. Hang on, because you don’t need it. If you need Homewood for help, you will leave there with a different attitude toward life.”
