Transcript

I believe that it was

important to address alcohol

and PTSD together because

even if I didn't realize it,

they fed into each other

in a very unhealthy manner.

I didn't realize it

until she helped me to analyze

my day to day lifestyle

and how the bad choices,

the negative choices

I was making

with substance abuse,

was negatively affecting

so many aspects of my life.

I had no idea. And,

had we not addressed the alcohol

and the PTSD together,

I don't believe that there

would have been improvement

like there is now,

in either area.
