Mental Health Matters: Share Your Battles, Don’t Lose the War

Mental health matters. I’d rather hear about your battles than learn you lost the war. Open up, share your struggles, and let’s win this fight together.

Addiction has a way of stripping you down, taking everything that makes you feel human and leaving you with nothing but the barest shell of who you once were. At my lowest, I was barely recognizable to myself and those who loved me.

It’s a battle against the mental health and drug crises that continue to ravage our nation. As we approach this grand sports spectacle, we must shift our focus and resources toward the real enemy at our gates.

The Hierarchy of Priorities: A Personal Blueprint

Establishing a clear hierarchy of priorities in a world filled with distractions and demands isn’t just beneficial; it’s essential. For me, this isn’t a theoretical exercise. It’s a daily, lived experience. Here’s a deeper dive into my blueprint for prioritizing what matters most.
