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

Ryan Barbara sharing the story About TentDec18

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.
