CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — Some veterans let debilitating PTSD dictate every aspect of their lives. Whether it is an irrational fear of crowds, fireworks, or trash on the side of the highway — having PTSD is a real bummer!
But that's not the case for Army veteran Glenn Flannery. Through the power of positive thinking, along with prescription grade narcotics and an enabling support system, he was able to overcome his crippling PTSD and lead a full, happy life as a high functioning alcoholic!
"It was really hard living with the stigma PTSD brings," said Flannery, who couldn't leave his front porch after returning from Iraq, let alone go to a bar or liquor store, without the specter of his past hovering over him.
