[@9ElevenCombatVet]

@Zack Browning It was a very intense time. 9/11 was my very first day of boot camp ironically. I did my official swearing in in late August of 2001. From the gate we were trained for combat because of the situation at hand. We weren’t trained to operate enraged, that’s when mistakes happen. We were trained to operate with precision as failure wasn’t an option. The sense of brotherhood kicks in. We all have different jobs and have to come together as one unit.

A little over 3 months for me. Stay strong my man! I honestly thought I was a lost cause for years, overwhelming hopelessness. Alot of people view relapse as giving up or a complete failure, it's a speedbump on our way to recovery. Somewhere along these dark times I found myself with a new mindset, motivation and determination. Now I don't see any reason to why I shouldn't be able to find the best version of me that I ever was, future is bright. Be proud of yourself.

1 bad cop doesn’t make all cops bad. 1 good cop does make them all good. Too many trigger happy cops. Cops are scared of minorities and minorities are scared of cops.

I agree, but to a certain extent. Is it a better alternative than more harmful substances? Yes…will it help you with whatever it is you’re feeling? Most likely, but is it for everyone?
