Steel City Round Table Podcast
My name is Mark Kneebone and I am a former law enforcement officer(12 years) and a recovering alcoholic with PTSD and severe depression. I spent over three decades of my life struggling under the foot of alcoholism and undiagnosed mental health issues. In May of 2023 I reached the point that all addicts fear.......rock bottom. Thoughts of suicide had creeped through the cracks of my mental health. I had to make a decision that many of us face. Did I want to live or die? I knew deep down that I could not continue living the life I was in, but I did not want to die. I took the first step and reached out for help going into an inpatient treatment center.
I came home in July of 2023 and I had no idea what to expect. I was white knuckling every minute just trying to stay sober. A good friend of mine Kenny "Finn" Finnigan was one of my biggest supporters. Through our conversations we decided to start a podcast to help us deal with our traumas and personal journeys. Unfortunately Finn died on his motorcycle in June of 2024 and only spent a short time with us on this project. The Steel City Round Table Podcast was born out of these discussions and will continue in honor of Finn and his brotherhood.
The goal of this show is to provide a platform for people to talk about there struggles, adversity, and road to recovery. We are not just about addiction and mental health. I believe in the strength of an honest story. I am hoping that through telling stories and being honest we can help others out there find their way out of the darkness and on the road to happiness. Come join us as we address anything and everything we can to accomplish this one very important goal. There is always a seat at the Steel City Round Table for you!!
