#166 | The Journey | Kenneth's Warstory

It’s been said that “life is a journey.” Oftentimes, we don’t get much more context than that and it can be hard to know what to do with that statement. Where are we trying to go? What are we after? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

 

Well, the journey is what we make it. For that one, you can quote Kenneth Watson. He delivers this week’s warstory and it is a powerful one. You’ll hear how it is we settled on this topic when you listen to where his life led him and how drugs and alcohol played an important role for a long time. With failed relationships, jobs that weren’t what they were supposed to be, the military, and the death of his mother, all making up a part of his journey. 

 

Today Kenneth is sober and able to recognize how each one of these things has placed him in a position to better serve those around him and just how much service plays a role in his recovery. 

 

Thanks Kenneth for telling your story!
