Maybe if we, collectively, keep talking about this we can get the thread back up to see the light of day again?
Take care, Dusty.

I think some people need to get to a place where they can swallow their pride.
After I got help, talking to an old buddy, he said “yeah, I figured you needed to get some help (years ago)”. He was right, and he’d tried to hammer that into me years ago, but was just too polite and didn’t want to offend my pride. And I was too prideful to think I couldn’t handle things myself.
Pride is a problem.
Now I realize that my pride kept me from enjoying many years of my short life, and probably caused me to shave some years off the end as well.
We’ll see.

sorry I took so long to reply. The ongoing work with veterans is proving that one-on-one counseling is having better results than group therapy, and your hearing Dr Shay “by chance” is again making my monitor blurry because I pray for y’all every day and you are an answer. There is no such thing as coincidence. “He’s got the whole world in His hands” always runs through my head after I say, or type, that.
Being a work in progress, remember one important thing, we are not only mind, but also heart, soul, and body. Take care of all of you. Comedies, exercise, and of course, church or, as I do, read the Bible with a topic study in mind. :) Got a question? Do a study.
Thanks for the Dr Shay reference. I’ll pick it up.
How was the reunion?
Check on recent knews about the distance factor. I believe there has been an extension for being able to go to a closer hospital.

FACT.
The biggest problem with that is most simply won’t understand and I don’t expect them to. It’s kind of a have to have been there type thing. One of the reasons a recovered alcoholic makes the best counselor for someone suffering from alcoholism. Been counseling Vets dealing with drug and alcohol addiction for some time now. As a Vet and a recovered alcoholic I feel it’s my duty to do so. They’re much more open and comfortable with me.
