A large part of me didn't want to admit I had a problem.

Jon Caito (US Army, 2001-2012) reflects on why he didn't seek treatment sooner.

I think what ultimately kept me

from getting treatment

sooner than I did,

a large part of me

didn't want to admit

I had a problem.

Especially

since I had at the time,

a wife and three kids

to look after

I didn't want to seem

like a failure to my family.

I guess I just wanted to be

the big, bad war hero

who acted like

everything was fine now.
