Manage episode 519024960 series 3658345
“I found myself at the kitchen table, with a Glock in my mouth trying to end my life.”
Eric Donoho’s story isn’t easy to hear, but thankfully it does have a great ending. A highly decorated US Army veteran, he served a grueling 14 months in Iraq, experiencing intense trauma and grief along the way. But when Eric hit rock bottom, and sat down ready to take his own life, something got in the way. Today, he tells that story.
There’s a troubling epidemic of suicide among members of the US military, and in this episode, we're honoring Veteran's Day with a look at Eric's journey from despair to advocate, and all the ways he’s trying to help.
