Before you scroll… read this. If you’re sitting there thinking“I don’t know what to say”“I don’t want to sound weak”“I’ve failed too many times” Good. That means you’re in the right place. You don’t need a perfect intro.You don’t need the right words.You don’t need a success story. You can start with one honest sentence. “I’m here because I’m tired.”“I’m here because I keep relapsing.”“I’m here because I want more discipline.”“I’m here because I don’t trust myself yet.” Nobody here is scoring you.Nobody here is above you.Every man here is in progress. If sharing feels uncomfortable — that’s normal.Growth starts where comfort ends. Drop your intro when you’re ready.Even if it’s messy.Even if it’s short. We’ve got you.You’re not late.You’re not broken.You showed up — and that matters. 🛡️ Brotherhood over bravado.One day at a time.

@Lamar Kelley I know there’s been times especially before I met a brother like you I’ve been broken down by myself with no one to talk to no one I thought would understand, because as much as I love my wife there’s still battles as men we face they just aren’t going to understand

1. ICE IT — Shock Your System Back Online When your chest is tight and your mind is racing, you don’t “think” your way out. You reset the body. Grab something cold: - Ice in your hand - Cold water on your face - Frozen pack on your neck - Step outside into cold air Cold knocks your nervous system out of fight-or-flight. No weakness here — it’s physics. 2. CALL THE ROOM — Take Control With Your Senses When your head is loud, anchor to the real world. Say it: - 5 things you see - 4 things you touch - 3 sounds you hear - 2 smells - 1 taste You’re not fixing life. You’re fixing right now. 3. CONTROL YOUR BREATH — Like Idling Down an Engine Breathe: In 4 Hold 4 Out 4 Hold 4 Repeat until your heartbeat slows. Your brain runs on oxygen. Starve panic, feed control. 4. TALK TO YOURSELF LIKE A MAN, NOT A DRUNK Say this: “This feeling is loud — not permanent.” “Using won’t fix it — it’ll make it worse.” “I’m not making moves while I’m fired up.” This is discipline, not self-help. 5. MOVE YOUR BODY HARD Stress chemicals don’t leave by thinking. They leave by burning. Do: - Pushups - Wall sits - Stairs - Fast walking - Shadowboxing You’re not working out. You’re clearing the system. 6. HIT ONE PERSON UP No big story. No shame. Text: “I’m not good. I’m fighting it.” That’s not weakness. That’s backup. Real men don’t try to survive fires alone. 7. BUY TIME — Don’t Make Moves While Injured Cravings don’t last forever — they spike and fall. Make a deal: - “Ten minutes.” - “One shower.” - “One walk.” No decisions while emotional. No promises while flooded. 8. SEE HOW IT REALLY ENDS Don’t imagine the high. Imagine the mess. - Waking up regretting it - Starting over - Lying to your people - Hating yourself You’ve worked too damn hard to throw it away. Truth You Need: Feeling like this doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’re human and under load. There is nothing wrong with you — but there is something at stake.
