A Veteran Dealing With PTSD Was Mislead Into Addiction: His Story Of Recovery

Send us a text

Today, I sit down with Mr. Kinshon Ra, a former Marine who opens up about his intense combat experience, post-military struggles, and the transformative spiritual awakening that changed his life. 

Mr. Ra walks us through his early days as a proud and decorated Marine, his time in heavy combat during the Battle of Nasiriyah, and the psychological toll it took on him over the years that followed. He discusses the long, painful road of PTSD, pill dependency, and how the system repeatedly failed to support him when he needed it most.

As we dive deeper, Mr. Ra shares his path through addiction and recovery, including a powerful turning point at a VA inpatient PTSD program. He takes us into the darkest and most vulnerable chapters of his life—from the courtroom and the streets to the healing moments that led him to rediscover purpose, service, and spirituality.

Now, through his project, the New Earth Leadership Academy, Mr. Ra trains others not in combat but in emotional resilience, energetic balance, and spiritual leadership.
