23 Years In The Army: Addicted & Broken — How God Saved His Life
Send us a text
Today, I sit down with U.S. Army veteran Ryan Reichert to explore a life marked by resilience, recovery, and unshakable faith. From childhood dreams of West Point to commanding troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, Ryan opens up about the highs and lows of his 23-year military career. He shares how early injuries and prescription medications led to a long battle with addiction—a struggle that he would face for decades, often in silence, while leading soldiers and managing responsibilities as a high-ranking officer.
Mr. Reichert discusses how post-retirement life brought new challenges, including personal failures, broken relationships, and a relapse into addiction. He follows this with his journey to sobriety, the deep pain of divorce, and how discovering a renewed relationship with God helped him rebuild his life with purpose and clarity.
We both share about the power of vulnerability, the importance of mental health support, and the role of spiritual grounding in healing.
