Im good. Thank you
Just a little tidbit about my family, my great great grandfather did something for the Kaiser, my grandfather was in ww1 went to France, had a great uncle and uncle in WWII, my father was drafted but was never sworn in because to war was over, but he was ready to do his duty and he never went to Korea. Had several cousins in Vietnam. And most of my wife's family also severed including the women. But yes bigboxes those guys are a treasure, I wish they would have talked more about there experiences but I understand why they didn't most of them saw some pretty awful things
Thanks for getting back, please next time don't wait so long even though we don't know you personally, we do care about you, and you scared the crap out of us. Remember you always have friends here!!!
Whats it been 18 / 20 years? I just hit 71
! There’s always a fresh day Lynn, who would have guessed we’d find each other on a football forum?Okie I would love to catch up. Small world my friend. You always made me laugh. 20 years is about right..Whats it been 18 / 20 years? I just hit 71
Thanks Lynn, where in the hell has time gone buddy?
Wish we could sit in your old tavern & have our beers. Life better today?

Vet it’s good to see you’re doing ok. A bunch of us were concerned about you... I know we don’t know each other but I’d be willing to give you my contact info just Incase you ever just need someone to listen to. We’ve all been down and in those dark places, some of us have been further down down though and we know it’s sometimes hard to see the light at the end but it is there... good luck to you and I hope things get a lot better for you
Dude, I'm the same way. I've lost something along the way. I drink too much, and I fail in so many social aspects. I drink to forget, but then I remember all the horrible ****, and all the dishonorable things I said while I was drunk.
All I know man, alcohol doesn't work. Your supposed to talk about it, but who wants to talk about it. I don't. You believe in God, vet. Lay your burdens on him. I've started talking to my pastor. It seems to help.
I feel like a lesser individual after my service, and I feel I've stained my soul. I will pray for you vet. I am proud of my service, but all the rest will always be there on my shoulders. I'm conflicted.
Thank you. I am going back into rehab soon. I will miss you guys..
Are you getting decent help? At least they recognize you guys have issues, soldiers coming home from WWI &II and Korea didn't get much, it was called combat fatigue or shell shocked go home it will work itself out. And that's why each small town had a drunk and most people didn't even know what his issue was. It was very sad
Bax, i get help. It dont work. I get a clown doc on a computer monitor.
Let the guys know what are good times to call you, I'm sure more will call you
Put down the bottle. Why worry a dog that is innocent? Make a place for your pet that is assured, and don't hold your dog or loved ones in a poor position.
What are you going to do? You're a Vietnam vet? Correct?
Hey man I helped a relative beat drinking, it took a lot out of me, do yourself a favor just pour out the booze alcohol doesn't solve problems
I can only imagine what your going through, I'm still going to suggest go see a pastor or priest they will listen to you and they might have different ideas for you to get the help you need. I'm praying for ya man
You are lucky punk . Im wanted The badest man you ever met. 75th ranger, bat. Sniper.
Hey Dysfunctional Vet, the greatest help you're going to get is via the total strangers that have reached out to help you the last few days...they may not be educated, they may not specialize in treatment but being willing to open up your heart and being true to another stranger on this planet takes a lot more guts than opening up to the clinic. You need both right now but I spent 21 days at Valley Hope 5 years ago and the bond I made with others carried me further than any one of the counselors. Reach out to some of these folks for an open ear or an alternative perspective on your scenario. Find someone with a similar history and be open-minded to their thoughts. Sometimes listening to someone else speak is just as important as spilling your own beans. Take TheBeav's suggestion on the Power of Now or mine on The Complete Conversations with God...do something outside of your ordinary routine so you can get out of your own head.
We could fix this world overnight if everyone led with love! This world is only as good as it's weakest link, and I know your not it! You may even find it beneficial to find someone that has it worse than you and lend them your support, give yourself a sense of purpose, you've been through some **** and your still here, I'm sure you've got some great insight of your own. If you want some motivation look your dog in the eyes and tell him you can do better and WILL do better!
