You have a veteran who retired 6 months ago come to your office.  He shares with you over the last 6 months he has lost his wife and children because his drinking is out of control, even though he tried to explain to them that drinking is the only thing that makes the "images" of all the dead people around him go away.  He also shares that he believes he is "weak" and letting his vet buddies down.  How do you proceed with this client?
