    I want to speak to those listeners in recovery. Maybe its for alcohol or drugs, maybe it's for mental health. There is a good chance it's for both.
    Never give up the fight. There is no end date either. You will always be fighting for your sobriety and healthy mental health. The sooner you accept this the better chance you have of success. 
    I have bad days, but my good days eclipse my bad days because I will never give up. You shouldn't either too. You deserve to be health and happy. 
    Always remember that.

    I know you can get irritated going to the same calls, dealing with the same people with the same problems. However, I want you to take a step back for a moment and realize people who are struggling are human too. People who are struggling might be struggling with the same challenges you have been or are. 
    I really believe that people who are struggling share many commonalities. So, before you start judging people I want you to view as people that need your help. And I also want you to remember that you might be, or probably are, dealing with your own challenges. 
    The only difference is you had some opportunities and they probably didn't. 
    Go out and do good in the world, and please be safe.

    One of the most powerful things you can do if you have made it through your storm is to share your story. While this might scare you, it is very therapeutic and it can also help so many people.
    My next guest is doing just that.
    Retired SGT Mark DiBona is helping so many first responders by sharing his struggles, and how he overcame them. He came close to taking his own life twice during his 33-year law enforcement career. His diagnoses of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety nearly ended his career. On his road to recovery, Mark was and is still very open about the struggles he encountered and the lack of support he received.
    Mark shares how he personally found strength to step away from the precipice and what the rest of us can do to help. 
    A great and powerful interview.

    Are you the person who signs up for all the overtime at your job? Are you constantly thinking about work? You need to step away from the job when you are off. 
    The extra money you make in OT will NEVER take the place of time spent with your family and kids. Trust me. I learned this the hard way. Start prioritizing the PEOPLE in your life, instead of the stuff you want.
    Balance your life out. You will thank you me later.

Incredible platform for all first responders

I recently had the pleasure and honor to be a guest on Criminal Justice Evolution. Prior to the podcast I listened to about five or six shows and was it immediately impressed by the friendly and engaging personality of the host Patrick Fitzgibbons. I was even more impressed when we began the interview. He uses a very unstructured “organic“ format to create a warm and friendly environment for people to open up and discuss sensitive topics. I had a tremendous time while recording this podcast and came away feeling like I had known Patrick for decades. Criminal Justice Evolution is not only a great show but performs a tremendous service for the first responder community.

Reset, regroup! Professionally peaceful!

Patrick’s ‘bedside manner’ if you will, is humbling and reassuring. Speaking from his vast experience in not only the LEO life but also as a veteran of this great country’s armed services. I’m proud and humbled by his genuine friendship and brotherhood he shares with me and the rest of our first responder and veteran community.
As a 15 year correctional officer and a 20 year veteran of the Army, I struggled with mental health and addiction. God put Patrick in my life for a reason. Sharing his wisdom, heartfelt and educated approach to helping others added in my first steps through recovery and is Patrick’s mission now. A true warrior!
Thank you Pat!
God bless you my brother!
