About TentDec18 — Our Story
About TentDec18 is more than just a name — it represents a journey from pain to purpose
This isn’t just a website. TentDec18 was born from pain, rebirth, and an unshakable purpose. It started on December 10, 2018 — the day I walked out of rehab with nothing but a second chance and the will to rebuild.
What Is TentDec18 Really About?
The name? It marks the moment everything changed.
On that cold December day, I left behind years of chaos — addiction, mental health struggles, gambling — and stepped into a life I had to fight for. That fight became a fire. That fire became TentDec18. A platform built to help people who’ve hit their lowest point rise again — stronger, clearer, and realer than ever.
Meet the Founder — Ryan J Barbara
I don’t talk theory. I talk lived experience.
My journey through hell — and the climb back out — is what fuels TentDec18. This platform is rooted in brutal honesty, personal growth, and the real tools that helped me rebuild from zero. I’m not a guru. I’m a guy who’s been there, who still battles, and who’s committed to walking alongside you on your journey.
Built from Scars
TentDec18 isn’t based on buzzwords. It’s built on scars.
I know what it’s like to feel broken. But I also know what’s possible when you choose to rise.
That’s the mission — to share the raw truth and real tools that help you stop surviving and start transforming.
One Million Stories Start with One
This platform wasn’t built to go viral.
It was built to go deep — one person at a time.
My goal? To impact one million lives.
Through blogs, podcasts, and powerful content — TentDec18 is here to speak to the ones who need it most.
