Real change starts when you hit rock bottom - Tango Alpha Lima EP305

On episode 305 of The American Legion Tango Alpha Lima podcast, former Navy medic and musician Shannon Book tells how he hit rock bottom - and how he found his way out. ⁠ ⁠ Shannon Book spent 17 years as a Fleet Marine Force corpsman, including two tours in Iraq. When he was medically retired in 2010, the brothers he counted on had moved on, his marriage dissolved, and a years-long battle with alcohol and drugs nearly cost him everything. What kept him going — then and now — is music.⁠ ⁠ Book opens up about his work as a musician, hitting rock bottom, and the Veterans Court system that helped him recover one step at a time.
