SSG Warren Swan an the biggest difference maker for me was realizing that had I done something different, the only likely outcome might have been an open casket vs a closed one. That and I probably would have been hurt worse than I was. It doesn't go away, but it doesn't dominate anymore.
I pray you find peace, brother. You've paid enough.

SSG Warren Swan - You're a good man. We'll have to have a pint sometime if you're ever in Minneapolis.

MSgt Mike Mikulski - I'm afraid not, Mike. The Army can say that there is no stigma all it wants. It is BS. It shouldn't take desperation or a suicide attempt to get help, but for too many, it does.

My key moment was to fill my heart of pain, anger, anxiety with love. Love is rocket fuel :) Love should be a constant.
