Before Warrior PATHH, I felt trapped in a cycle of anger, isolation, and hopelessness. I couldn’t regulate my emotions, trusted no one except my wife, and was consumed by daily thoughts of suicide. I blamed others for my problems and lived as a victim, just existing day to day without any purpose in life.

During the program, I faced my anxieties and committed myself fully, without judgment. I began to reframe my past experiences, realizing I could let them shape a positive future instead of continuing to break me. Opening up was hard but sharing with others who truly understood my struggles was incredibly freeing. I built meaningful connections—deeper than any I’d had since my military days—and discovered that my future wasn’t hopeless. I began to see my strength and learned how to use the tools provided by the guides to climb out of the hole I’d dug for myself.

Since completing Warrior PATHH, I’ve transformed my life. I’ve taken control of my mental and physical health and become more present and responsible in my family life. My wife and I now share responsibilities, which has strengthened our relationship. I communicate honestly and calmly, something I couldn’t do before.

Most importantly, I’ve found purpose. As a PATHH Guide, I’m now helping other Warriors overcome their struggles, just as I was helped. I no longer merely exist—I value each day and live meaningfully. Warrior PATHH didn’t just change my life; it gave me the tools and support to rebuild it into something I’m proud of.
