From Alcohol to Accountability | Cpl Gavin Martinez

CAMP FOSTER, Okinawa, Japan – He was done with everyone. He convinced himself the world was against him, which fueled his anger each day. Endless nights of hate and alcohol consumed his mind as he couldn’t understand why this was happening to him. His lies gave his family the impression that he was doing well. According to Martinez, he wasn’t the problem, the environment was. “I had said to myself that I would become the alcoholic everyone made me out to be by just drinking more and more.”
