Just know that there are people that love you. I'm an alcoholic. I have been since I lost my best friend in the Marine Corps. I finally asked for help a few weeks ago, and the support has been overwhelming. I know there's a few of you fellow vets out there who are prideful like me, and think we can conquer everything ourselves, but just simply asking for help is all you need to do. I had heard horror stories about the VA, but, everyone I've talked to so far has been incredibly helpful, and I'll be checking into the hospital tomorrow before I kill myself by drowning in alcohol. The help is out there, guys, you just have to ask for it. I'm ready for the fight ahead, and you need to be too. We need all hands on deck, and if you're not well, you need to get well. All the best - Felonious

Just a heads up on backsliding. It is to be avoided, but nothing to be ashamed of. Let not your fear of failure overcome you. Goodluck pede. If you backslide, be willing to embrace that we are human, and fallible, and forgiven. And try again. Prayers that you will not, and prayers and blessings should you need them . In the name if Almighty God, the Spirit, and the Risen Son of God, Jesus Christ. Amen
