EP continues its exploration of the effects of combat on servicemembers who have returned home and are attempting to cope with traumatic experiences while reintegrating into the daily life of family, community, and work. This series focuses on traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, and related health issues. This month's article explores the issue of substance abuse, some of its effects, and some options and thoughts for recovery. United States Military Section The world is not an easy place, and when you have endured a traumatic experience in combat, a servicemember can be left with a scar on the psyche. There is no way to escape the fact that an experience of heightened fear and violence casts a shadow upon its recipient. We may avoid the memories in a number of ways, through repression, denial, and forms of escape. This does not negate that the experience of pain and fear occurred. To avoid something does not mean it does not exist. It means that the one who went through the traumatic event is not willing to re-experience the memory. Unfortunately, what we try to avoid only builds momentum, becoming stronger, wielding demons in its wake.
