Leaving the Military Broke My Structure (Here’s What Rebuilt It)

Adam spent 18 years in a world where everything had a place: structure, ranks, checklists, right answers. Then he left and suddenly the rules were gone. This episode isn’t about “reinventing yourself” in a motivational-poster way. It’s about what it actually feels like when your body starts waving the red flag… when you realize you’re making mistakes you wouldn’t have made before… and when recovery starts with something almost embarrassingly small: “Today, brush my teeth.” If you’ve ever felt weirdly calm in chaos but lost in normal life, this conversation will land.
