Fighting for Those Who've Fought for Us
The battle against addiction is as real as any they’ve faced on the battlefield. We want to share the stories of Veterans who’ve fought for the freedom of their countrymen and now fight for their own.
This Sober Vet Podcast shares the stories of military heroes—those who have faced unimaginable challenges, both in service and in their personal life battles. These are real stories of struggle, courage, and transformation. We’re here to provide a platform for veterans who’s stories now stand to bring hope on the other side of addiction.
Our mission is to normalize sobriety with Veterans who are using and abusing substances in a harmful, self-medicating way. This is a conversation that I have never heard. Currently, the national average suicide rate for Veterans is 18 per day. Most of these Veterans have some sort of substance in them when they make this horrific decision. We hope that by normalizing sobriety with Veterans, that this number goes down.

This is my battle cry
I’m Joe Yurick, and like many Veterans, I’ve faced battles that extend far beyond the battlefield. After years of serving my country, I found myself in a fight against addiction. Now, my mission is to help other Veterans find the strength to win their own battles with alcohol and drugs.
