[User Stories] The Retired Veteran Who Learned to Meditate and Stay Sober

Name: James L.
Location: Texas, USA
Occupation: Retired Military

“I served 20 years in the military. When I got out, I thought the hardest part was over. Turns out, the structure was what had kept me stable. Without it, I spiraled — drinking too much, sleeping late, drifting through the day.

My daughter introduced me to Conquer after my second attempt at rehab. I didn’t want pity — I wanted structure. Something to answer to.

We set up 3 daily habits: morning meditation, a gratitude list, and a selfie after my 3-mile walk. All with photo proof. No lies. No wiggle room.

It’s been 154 days sober. The app reminds me who I said I want to be — and holds me to it. My daughter’s my referee. Every day, I show up, send my proof, and know I’m not doing it alone.

Conquer didn’t just help me form new habits. It helped me find peace I’d been chasing for years.”
