Shits being janky guys. Read this one, and not my first reply

I’m getting a lot of views and no replies, so my story.... when I got out I was feeling a bit lost. Luckily my mom was in a position to get me a steady income. Fucking sucked ass guys, I’ve never been so irritated and wanted to toss a desk in my life. EVEN WHILE BEING IN THE MARINES. Dude I was so pissed at this job and it’s a miracle i was there for a whole year without wanting to kill myself. This had to
Have been the darkest year of my life.... Marine vet working a fucking customer service job at chase. WHERE TF DID I GO
WRONG. Seriously?!?
Though, after a year of doing the devils bidding at a bank I had it. My boss said some shit to me, I punched him in the fucking mouth, and tossed my computer shit. Donezo guys. Fucking done. No police charges so we’re all good. Did some framework for my brother in law, went into the security contracting business doing cameras, metal detectors. Wireless access and keyless entry shit.but I guess the point of this is. That year of my life I was an alcoholic.. more so whole I was enlisted. Drug abuse. Wanted to fucking die because nothing made sense... but I got out of that environment. I found and made things better. And thank fucking Christ for VetTv because the comedy in shitty situations makes all the difference. I hope someone if not more of you can relate to my story. Being at the bottom... then digging yourself and making a good of not positive impact on those around you. I know I didn’t mention my two children. But fuck they had an enormous part to play in all of this.. alcohol is only a depressant guys. I’ll be the first to admit I LOVE beer, but it only makes things a worse. If I were any of you. Just smoke weed lol. Seriously. Love you guys, and I love this VetTv community. I hope you guys read what I’ve had to say and share. Much love - Nathan
