I had a friend of mine, we used to fish together,
who was diagnosed, after he retired, with PTSD.
And we talked and so forth, and he looked at me and he says,
"Jim, you got the classic symptoms of PTSD,"
but that was still early on, I mean,
I hadn't retired yet or anything else and, "Yeah, OK."
And then after I retired and quit the business,
I found myself, I was becoming more irritable, and then
the drinking stepped in, and that started bothering me,
and that really started bothering my wife, and, God love her,
she stuck with me through my career and this,
but it just, I decided I better do something,
so I went and seeked help for the drinking.
I went through the psychiatric clinic and talked with
the doctor there, and then they sent me over to the
substance abuse clinic, and then from there, I attended
quite a few classes and so forth and got diagnosed
over there by a psychiatrist, and it was PTSD.
