I’m nowhere near finished with my journey. I want to try to be the best version of myself I can be for my wife and son.
Not only that, but also having made these changes with the the support of this Family makes me want to help other first responders.
A big part of the reason for this is because the life expectancy for the first responder community is getting worse due to PTSD, cancer, heart problems, and suicide.
If I can help a fellow first responder improve their overall health and outlook on life, I feel like that’s the true meaning of brotherhood. After all, that is the foundation of all first responder jobs: Fire service, military, law enforcement, etc.
