Brain Injury Radio

I had known Bill for many years, when I learned he'd suffered a TBI. He'd had a lengthy road of recovery the past couple years, and then a severe car accident too. Bill was always strong as a bull, and few have had a more colorful past and turn around. Between his own addiction, chronic pain, and mental health challenges - He fought like the warrior he had always been and overcame, continuing to live a life of service. In spite of his challenges, Bill had a heart bigger than most. I was blessed to have him as part of my life for so long. Bill Keck was a dear friend who passed in 2021, but his story lives on. Prior to his retirement, Bill, a US Navy Veteran who did two tours in Nam, developed an alcohol and drug treatment center, within a Homeless Shelter. He worked there for almost 20yrs, during which he wrote a book about recovery and miracles. See: youtube.com/watch?v=HHjh6OZvwug We were out of touch for a few years, so I was shocked to hear about his brain injury. After being a host for so long, I wonder if he had prior blows to the head during his service, either to our country or at the shelter. God Bless you Bill - You are missed. This show is a gathering place for anyone seeking recovery from the challenges of life on life's terms. I introduce topics, and survivor's share their experience, strength and hope. We discuss useful tools that have helped us lighten the load, of our journey through recovery. More will be revealed! Tune in, stop in and call in. This is a "we" recovery program, because it is in the "we," that we find the new "me." We focus on the four A's of Recovery - Awareness, Acceptance, Action & Adaptation. This is a place for survivor's striving to become thrivers and for that it takes a good bit of warrior! Host is Kim Justus, author of In a Flash: Miracles Here found at www.inaflash.org
