You made it home, but the fight never stopped. The battle doesn't end when you leave the battlefield. For many, that's just where a new war begins-the war within. You've been surviving, pushing through, convincing yourself that carrying the weight alone is just part of the deal. Maybe you're running on autopilot, maybe you've locked everything away, or maybe you've hit rock bottom and don't see a way forward. I get it. I've been there. This book isn't filled with easy answers, self-help clichés, or bullshit platitudes. Battle Tested: Not Broken is about what happens after the dust settles-when you're standing in the wreckage of everything you thought you knew, and you have to figure out what comes next. It's about tearing down the lies you've been told about strength, rebuilding trust in yourself, and creating a life that's worth living-not just surviving. You won't find checklists, quick fixes, or hollow motivation here. What you will find is a raw, honest conversation-one warrior to another-about what it really takes to come back from the hardest battles. We'll talk about PTSD, identity loss, isolation, and the long road to healing. We'll talk about finding purpose again, about brotherhood, about rebuilding relationships and owning your scars instead of hiding them. The truth is, no one can do this for you. No one is coming to save you. But you don't have to do it alone. This book isn't just for veterans. It's for anyone who's ever felt lost in their own mind. It's for anyone who's ever hit rock bottom and wondered if they had the strength to get back up. You do. And this is where you start. The fight isn't over. But this time, you get to choose how it ends.
