Description

You're the fixer. But what happens when it’s you that needs fixing?

In this hard-hitting follow-up, Brad Schriefer peels back the layers on substance abuse, trauma loops, and why we suck at taking our own advice. He offers real, actionable strategies for breaking the cycle — without losing your edge or your identity.

This isn’t therapy — it’s survival.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why the firehouse culture of “fix everyone but yourself” is setting us up to fail
  • How to replace the bottle with tools that actually work
  • One way to rewire your brain and protect your crew
  • The science behind why the gym is sometimes the best therapy
  • A better definition of “strength” — one that actually saves lives

If you’re a firefighter who knows something has to change — but doesn’t want to lose who you are — this one's for you.
