I didn't think there was
anything wrong with me.
I thought everybody else
was screwed up and
I was fine,
but (laughs) I
kept winding up
in jail and in front
of the judge,
and finally the judge
gave me the ultimatum
that if he saw me in his
courtroom one more time
he was gonna send
me to prison.
He gave me the
opportunity to seek help,
and I took him up on
that opportunity.
The VA was just starting up
with their
Vietnam veterans
readjustment
counseling centers,
and that was the only thing
that I knew of
or could find
that might be able to help,
so that's where I went,
and thank God I did.
And like I said, I'd
have wound up in prison
or on a slab somewhere,
that's the road I
was going down.
