David W Ebel lived with an expiration date and somehow survived it. In this episode of W.A.R. We’re All Recovering, host Stryker sits down with David W Ebel to talk about chronic pain, addiction, depression, faith, discipline, family, and what it truly means to keep going when life already feels over.
