The effect that it had on my life

and everything that is my life, you know,

was solely around that,
I mean, I took to drugs

real hardcore I took to
an aggressive behavior.

You know, I was always
in, that fight or flight

mode that people talk about
that comes from combat.

I didn't have to go to
combat to experience

that fight or flight mode
with everything in my life.

You know, everything was, you know...

I was a very violent angry
person after that incident.

I mean, I was kind of a
violent person before then

but like it was-it was
just magnified so much so.

It was such a powerful effect.

It had so much, so much going
in the wrong direction for me.
