Hello to everyone here. Not sure if this is the proper platform or place for this, but here goes. I am a veteran who has been battling PTSD for years now (used to self medicate with alcohol, which reeked havoc on my life in a very negative manner as well as my family) I have recently put the booze down (almost a year now) and reconnected with an old love for bass fishing. getting out and fishing is my serenity these days, it really does wonders for me. now i was just wondering if there are any organizations out there that assist with providing gear, trips, seminars, or anything of the nature to get veterans out on the water and connected with other veterans who have a love for fishing as well. I live in the northern suburbs of Illinois by the way. thank you to all who read this post.
