What if changing one habit could completely transform your life?

In this inspiring episode of This Sober Vet, Air Force Veteran JT shares his deeply personal battle with alcoholism, the decision to break free from destructive habits, and how sobriety inspired a new mission to help others build healthier lives.

JT explains how alcohol gradually became part of his daily routine, the mindset that helped him break the cycle, and why recovery is about much more than simply quitting drinking. Today, he is the founder of Consequence of Habit, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals and communities by raising awareness about how our daily habits influence mental health, personal success, and the world around us.

His story demonstrates that lasting recovery begins with intentional choices—and that small habits can create extraordinary change.

Whether you're an active-duty service member, Veteran, first responder, family member, or someone struggling with alcohol addiction, JT's journey offers practical insight, hope, and inspiration for building a better life.
