4th of JULY SPECIAL EPISODE
🎙️In this powerful episode of The Cup of Joe Show, we’re joined by Jim F.— a decorated U.S. Marine who served his country with honor from 1968 to 1995—commanding battalions, hunting down cartel leaders, and even serving at the Pentagon. During his decades in uniform, alcohol never had a grip on him—his sense of duty was too strong.
But after retiring, he faced a mission unlike any other: battling alcoholism. In civilian life, daily drinking crept in. Jim thought he could quit anytime—until he actually tried. What followed were two stints in rehab, multiple relapses, and a life-changing realization: the strength that served him in war wouldn’t save him from addiction. What would? Surrender.
💬 “I led Marines through war zones… but I couldn’t lead myself out of a liquor bottle—until I learned that surrender isn’t defeat.”
Tune in for a story of resilience, transformation, and the hope that waits on the other side of surrender.
👉 Hit play, follow, and share—it might just save a life.
The Cup of Joe Show explores the journey of recovery from alcohol and drug addiction—one story, one conversation, and one step at a time. New Episode Every Thursday at Noon.
