Thank you for this. I’m sitting here sadly drunk, with not the best mindset. I’ve had the pleasure of serving 9 yrs. Now things just seem over lately. I’ve been having bad thoughts. But this definitely got me thinking about maybe not giving up. There’s so much more out there for me. Thank you.

So I went to my first AA meeting on a Sat morning before I opened a can and stayed until they closed. The Speakers' story that night was So inspiring(he'd been a Star hs football player and got hooked on drugs)that after I chatted with him for 5mins(he said go home, go to bed, you'll sleep shitty for a couple days,You're gonna be fine)I did what he said and I'm still sober! They told me it's the Sugar in alcohol that does that shit to you so you can substitute Candy for a while,then drop the candy because sugar sucks too. I still struggle bad with sex-addiction and caffeine. Good luck to us All! Keep Pushing through the shitty part. 💪 ❤🫡👍

You are worth it man. Believe in yourself and know that you are not alone. You just took a very big step by telling a whole lot of people that you are struggling. At least you can see and realize that. Keep fighting, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You got this.

Seeing SOF guys discussing sobriety as a part of their healing is so commendable. It's such a taboo topic in the community, but I feel so many could benefit from starting that conversation.

@@markensworth6591 Sorry for your loss brother, addiction / alcoholism been running thru my family for years. Just lost my sister March 28th from alcohol, lost my dad to the same xmas morning '16, & have had my own issues. It's been very hard losing my big sis, doing my best to stay busy, taking life one day, one moment at a time, while cherishing the great memories whether thru pics and or reading the comments her friends have left on her FB, reminding me of how much she was loved & remembered for her constant outgoing energy, that always brought laughter & good times to whomever she was with. And lastly, the most important thing is to, no matter what, take care of #1 first & foremost; try not to isolate, talk to ppl when you need to, there is NOTHING wrong w asking for help, its very commendable to do so. Honor your cousin however you feel best. And never forget that you are not alone man! RIP Matty & Jennifah!❤‍🩹

I went to highschool with Leach. It was heartbreaking when this happened. Crazy to see a video 6 years later with his picture again.

Totally answered the question of “I don’t know how, but they knew we were coming” shortly fallowed by “ 26 Iraqis”. One if not more def dropped the dime on the dime on this dudes squad. My uncle (retired warrant officer at 3rd SFG) said if you get 10 locals in their partner forces, at least 2 will out the whole team to the enemy. Said it was worse in Africa when he was at “Africom”

Just want to shake this mans hand and tell him god bless and thank you... The things these men do is something out of a movie. Absolute heroes...

Dude is a monster, thank god he's on our side. He defined what a Marine is.

I grew up in Olathe and know Nick and Zach through many close mutual friends. Nick is a good man and so many of us still here in KC are proud of him and what he was able to overcome. Thankful to God that he made it back, recovered and is using his experiences to make positive moves helping others coming back home from similar hardships.
