RadioPublic Dr. Tony Dice knew how to chase the next rush. Asking for help took a different kind of courage.
On Night Two of The MisFitNation Veterans Week 2026, the U.S. Navy SEAL veteran opens up about how chasing intensity followed him into civilian life, how alcohol and drug use became harder to face, and what made him want to stay in treatment once he got there. He talks about why he still goes to recovery meetings and how even throwing himself into work could become a way to avoid what he was feeling.
Now a clinical therapist, Tony brings his experience as a Navy SEAL, firefighter, paramedic, and person in recovery to a conversation about addiction, sobriety, and veteran mental health. He also shares why he wrote *After the Trident: A Navy SEAL’s Battle with Secrets, Shame, and Addiction* and what he hopes readers will take from his story.
