The anger, I guess that was something,

the rage that was going on inside of me.

And it was beginning to even manifest itself at work

because I poured myself into work

as an avoidance mechanism, because if I'm doing work

I can avoid everything else.

I can do the one thing that I knew how to do

and that was be a soldier.

I could train and I could suck it up,

but I could move on and drive forward

and accomplish the mission, charlie mike,

complete the mission.

That piece was tough.

And it's very difficult to accept when your life,

and recognize when your life's

starting to spin outta control.
