Episode 19 of Mended welcomes Matt P. - Revere native, firefighter, recovery advocate, and local elected official. Matt opens up about community, service, and what recovery looks like today: building routines (morning pages, prayer, dog walks, running), keeping your word, choosing gratitude, and finding purpose after loss. We also talk events that bring people together (coat drives, Sober Bowl), why “one day at a time” still works, and how being “on the mend” can empower your whole life. It’s honest, grounded, and hopeful. 💙🧡 Give it a watch and share with a friend.

P.S. Come to Sober Bowl. Saturday, November 8 at 9:00 a.m., Harry Della Russo Field, Revere, MA. Bring a friend!

I’m no different than you.

I remember how hard it was in the beginning to ask for help. I stayed out there longer than I needed to, prolonging the pain and suffering of addiction and mental health struggles.

Ego, shame, and guilt kept me stuck. Gratefully, there were people who saw where I was, even when I couldn’t. They never gave up on me, and when I was finally ready, they were still there, waiting.

You don’t have to wait any longer. You don’t have to prolong the suffering. It takes just one thing: your willingness.

Pick up the phone and ask for help. No matter where you are right now, no matter how bad it feels, there is another way to live. Let me help you find it.

Today is Damon’s Sober Anniversary 🎉

Day #1… I walked in with a bit of relief and a sliver of hope — relief that I didn’t have to run the rat race, even if it was just for one day, and hope that I could string a few days together. Look where it’s brought me now.

Today I celebrate Day #5,844 — 16 years sober! 🙌

I’ve learned that while growth and stability have fortified my recovery, the true essence lies in the delicate balance of maintaining a daily regimen. Consistency in my recovery journey has been the foundation of my sustained strength.
- Damon
