This retired law enforcement officer was severely injured in line of duty, which led to years of medical procedures, years of being prescribed opiates, and unfortunately years of substance abuse.

He's here to tell his story, and more importantly, how he got clean and sober and how he used his experience to help others.

Calling us from Arizona, we have Brock Bevel on the phone.

Brock is retired, Mesa, Arizona police officer.

And Brock, first of all, thanks so much being guests in a show.

Very much appreciated. Absolutely. Thanks for having me.

It's a pleasure to have you here. And I want to thank you for your service as well because

that's something I'm trying to make a concerted effort to get better at doing.

Well, I appreciate that, man. That's, that's, uh, it was, it was a good time, good seven and a half years.

I find it difficult because I never know quite how to respond when people said to me.

I used to go through a whole big rigmarole. Now I just say, you're welcome. And thanks for saying

that. I understand and know firsthand the difficulties of working in law enforcement.
