And they may also need to seek sobriety if they have substance abuse like this alcohol or drug Addictions. This refers also to those who are already out of service.

An officer, I knew worked with this Marine Corps, lieutenant colonel. He was a Marine Corps reserve officer and also worked for the DEA. After work at a bar he talked to his buddies about how he hated his job. He went home and shot himself.

Go to alcoholics anonymous or to a narcotics anonymbus location near you. They are available in the phonebook or online.

There is a good chance that is correct. It took me years to appreciate the level of depression of my Father who finally sobered up when I was 30

Sorry to hear about your dad. My sister was a closet drunk and she committed suicide by hanging herself in the garage on july 4th, 2015. This is not a data celebrate anymore because American independence is also the anniversary of my sister's suicide. She was 49.

One factor that the pro boarcian people don't like to talk about Is that?
Some women who have abortions get traumatized by it. Recently, one of the singers from The Pussycat Dolls came out was scathed by the extreme left because she said that she was traumatized by her abortion. It was worse for my sister because she couldn't have had a kid because a few years later she had a tumor in her Uterus and had to have a complete Hysterectomy. That devastated my sister and she had a bunch of little shitsu dogs.

I am pro-choice but the pro.Abortion people are full of s*** when they give s*** to women like the pussycat dolls singer for telling her feelings.

My sister was always depressed because of this and I think that's what led her to alcoholism.

You know , 1LT Buck Compton from band of brothers? He was traumatized as a kid. His dad was drinking all the time and they found bottles everywhere. He was a working drunk. He then bought an Insurance policy and waited enough time.Then he committed suicide by running the exhaust into the passenger compartment of the car parked in the garage. When he killed himself, he put a note saying to call the police. He figured his life wasn't worth living and he would be able to leave some money for the family. Because of this, Buck Compton never drank alcohol. This was in the book he wrote. I have an autographed copy of the book and I met him in person in 2009.

My Dad said quitting smoking was harder than quitting drinking. He quit on a bet. Mom bet him he couldn't go 24 hours without a drink. He tired to convince her one drink wouldn't hurt but she reminded him of the bet. He apparently kept his word because the following morning he couldn't light a cigarette or pour a cup of coffee. On his way from the kitchen to the living room to lay down on the couch, he fell to the floor and had DTs. After 30 days in the hospital, he came out and never drank again. Much better story than those you shared. So sorry about your sister. I had a brother who was medicated for depression quit taking his meds almost 3 years ago and died as a result. Very passive suicide. He was 67.

SP5 Dennis Loberger I am sorry for your brother. My wife used to like watching the show celebrity Rehab.

I saw him go through withdrawals on alcohol. Maybe it was withdrawal pain from painkillers? This was sixteen or seventeen years ago and it was painful to watch. His name is similar to mine but not related.
