00:00:00.208 --> 00:00:02.544
One veteran who came in

00:00:02.544 --> 00:00:05.213
following the end of a
romantic relationship

00:00:05.213 --> 00:00:06.881
that had been quite important to him,

00:00:06.881 --> 00:00:11.886
and this veteran also had
had two prior divorces,

00:00:11.886 --> 00:00:13.847
so was quite upset about this naturally,

00:00:13.847 --> 00:00:17.392
and also found himself drinking
to cope with his symptoms.

00:00:17.392 --> 00:00:19.602
He was also feeling quite depressed

00:00:19.602 --> 00:00:23.940
and he had withdrawn from
his family and his friends.

00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:25.483
Throughout the course of treatment

00:00:25.483 --> 00:00:28.528
he first of all made a plan,

00:00:28.528 --> 00:00:30.321
and followed it at his own pace,

00:00:30.321 --> 00:00:32.032
a pace he was comfortable with,

00:00:32.032 --> 00:00:33.450
to reconnect with his family,

00:00:33.450 --> 00:00:35.618
so he went to a family event.

00:00:35.618 --> 00:00:38.705
He got in touch with some of his siblings,

00:00:38.705 --> 00:00:41.583
and reestablished these important
connections in his life.

00:00:41.583 --> 00:00:44.461
He also got back in touch
with his army buddies,

00:00:44.461 --> 00:00:49.466
and spent time again with
his civilian friends,

00:00:50.383 --> 00:00:51.885
had reduced his drinking,

00:00:51.885 --> 00:00:55.972
was feeling much better mood
wise at the end of treatment,

00:00:55.972 --> 00:01:00.268
and also by the end of treatment

00:01:00.268 --> 00:01:04.147
was working on reestablishing
the relationship

00:01:04.147 --> 00:01:06.566
that had broken up before
he came into treatment.
