Episode 140 (Ret.) Dallas Police Major Mark Harris: The Twelfth Step

Retired Dallas Police Major Mark Harris spent a career serving others, confronting danger, and carrying the weight of responsibility. But eventually, he faced a battle that no badge, rank, or years of service could shield him from—the battle within himself.  The demon in the bottle became a fight he could no longer win alone, and Mark had to find the courage to confront his demons, silence his pride, and reach out for help. His journey toward sobriety began with the difficult realization that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but an act of courage that can save a life.  Today, Mark uses the lessons forged through his own struggles to become a voice for those still trapped in the darkness of addiction, offering hope to those who may believe there is no way out. Because recovery is not simply about finding your way back to yourself; it is about reaching back for someone who is still fighting to find their way.  The Twelfth Step is service to others—turning personal pain into purpose, hard-earned lessons into hope, and the battle you once fought alone into a lifeline for someone who needs to know they are not alone. Special guest host Dallas PD Assistant Chief Jeremy Foy.
