Since I'm a first...Thank you Doug and Michael. Since I'm a first Gulf War and Somalia Veteran, and not a Vietnam Vet, I truly appreciate everyone letting me participate on this forum. Before they canceled it, my Anger Management group at the VA was me, one other Gulf War Vet and the rest were Vietnam Vets. Those were the guys who could finish my sentences, just as I could finish theirs. It doesn't matter what war you fought in, the horrors and results are the same. We did the same stuff, just with different scenery. Thank you both for your service. <br />DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680984228843410546.post-42525656321233325232010-11-12T13:29:38.162-05:002010-11-12T13:29:38.162-05:00David, I'm 61 and and spent 20 years self-medi...David, I'm 61 and and spent 20 years self-medicating and my first wife felt all what you described...we were both sick to be honest.<br />Once I got clean a year I met my current wife and she is a rock, she worked to find out what I suffer with, she prays for my comfort and at night she has suffered my nightmares, my shouts and even some physical abuse but she refuses to leave my side...she wants to be there when I suddenly wakes up knowing her face, her concern will make a difference.<br />Yes, CJ has been a blessing by allowing us to write our thoughts, fears and memories...driven by her love for writing but perhaps even more for her love of Doug.<br />Be strong my brother, keep fighting because we will be blessed for our fight as will our best allie---our family and friends. God is good and faithful. I pray daily for our fellow vets and all the men and women under colors. Thanks for sharing, it IS the best of treatments. Thanks CJ for providing the prescription....<br />Michael: 101st Airborne Division, 1970-71Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
