00:00:01.050 --> 00:00:03.570 align:middle line:90%
I started drinking heavily
after I returned from Iraq.

00:00:03.570 --> 00:00:05.530 align:middle line:90%
The drinking and
the partying only

00:00:05.530 --> 00:00:07.870 align:middle line:90%
last so long before it
becomes serious issues.

00:00:07.870 --> 00:00:10.460 align:middle line:84%
Oh yeah, the alcohol helped.

00:00:10.460 --> 00:00:11.919 align:middle line:84%
Yeah, for one day.

00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:13.460 align:middle line:90%
But then the next
day when I woke up,

00:00:13.460 --> 00:00:15.170 align:middle line:84%
I still had that problem.

00:00:15.170 --> 00:00:18.270 align:middle line:90%
I wasn't an alcoholic,
I was an alcohol abuser.

00:00:18.270 --> 00:00:20.710 align:middle line:84%
That's what I told myself.

00:00:20.710 --> 00:00:23.240 align:middle line:90%
For veterans the
stressors of war,

00:00:23.240 --> 00:00:25.830 align:middle line:90%
the stressors of returning
home, can sometimes

00:00:25.830 --> 00:00:27.960 align:middle line:84%
lead to problems in drinking.

00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:30.770 align:middle line:90%
