Brain Injury Radio

Bill Keck was a dear friend who recently passed away. I had known Bill for many years, when I learned he had suffered a TBI. He's had a lengthy road of recovery the past couple years, and then a car accident too. Bill has always been 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'd always been and overcame, continuing to live a life of service. In spite of his challenges, Bill had a heart bigger that most. I was blessed to have him as a part of my life for so long. 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. Please watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHjh6OZvwug Bill and I have been 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. 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 and Adaptation. This is a place for survivor's striving to become thrivers. :) Host is Kim Justus, author of In a Flash: Miracles Here and Beyond and Hootie's Hollow & the Magic Tree found at www.inaflash.org
