Recovery isn't just about getting sober. It's about confronting the stories you've been telling yourself, breaking generational cycles, and learning how to be honest with who you are.
In this episode of Validate Me, Peter Rosenberg sits down with General Steele to talk about addiction, trauma, family, faith, recovery, writing his memoir, and the lifelong work of healing. Together, they explore how pain gets passed down, what it takes to break the cycle, and what trauma leaves behind long after the wounds are invisible.
