Dennis Connors did not find his recovery community in a veterans group.

He found it on a bike.

After years of cycling with other riders, he finally opened up about what hurt.

That community earned his trust.

And when they told him to get checked for traumatic brain injury, he listened.

That scan revealed TBI and evidence of a stroke he never knew happened.

The fourth pillar of perseverance is community.

Not just any group.

A group where you show up consistently, build trust, and let people in close enough to say the hard thing you need to hear.
