My story is not unusual, I spent 22 years active army, 21 as a LEO. It gets much more difficult after you retire. I’m a firm believer, that people who have experienced and witnessed a lot of metal trauma in their life. They should stay as far away from prescription drugs and alcohol as possible. I’ve had six friends 2 Army and 4 LE kill themselves. Five of them it was a combination of one or the other and sometimes both. Add some sort of loss/trauma in their personal life. There’s a recipe for disaster.
