Betrayal of a Dream –
June 15, 2018 – We hear it all the time, the horrible stories of the addiction: the overdoses, the pain, and the suffering. It’s just one aspect ABC57 News has shown you during “Addicted America” series.” One local veteran wants to change the way these stories are told. “When I came back from my tours, I ended up having a back surgery. The VA put me on a number of different medications, one of those being prescription pain pills,” Brandon Adolf says. “My life kind of spiraled out of control for awhile, taking pills in combination with alcohol.” Adolf spent two tours overseas, in Iraq and Afghanistan, fighting for our country. But when he came back, he had a different kind of battle: addiction.
