Being pulled over made him realize he had changed
Reagan:
When I got home I was doing pretty good I thought. I hit the ground running. My third day home I had already had a full-time job locked on and I started working every day. I worked actually three months before I even took a day off. I stayed real busy and everything seemed to be going pretty good until I started to have some down time. I actually got promoted at my job. I didn't have to work seven days a week. I got to work five days a week and then I had some time to do some things, and I think that's when I started noticing a little difference in basically who I was. I was a lot more irritable. I was always tired. I never slept. The crazy thing is I actually got pulled over one time for failure to maintain a lane. It was actually kind of embarrassing to me at the time because the police officer asked, of course he thought I was drunk, or inebriated, or talking on my cell phone. I said “No”. But what had happened was there was a bag in the road and I just didn't even think about it. I just assumed it was an IED subconsciously and I swerved to miss it. There was a police officer right behind me. Flipped the lights. He wanted to know what was going on. And I didn't even tell him that. I just told him “I don't know, I didn't maintain my lane”. Anyone would think I was crazy. I didn't want him to think “Wow, what's the deal with this guy?” But that's when I started realizing “Wow”. That was just weird to me. And then I just noticed that my relationship with everybody, as time went on, it got worst. I was harder to deal with. You know you get to the point where I was almost impossible to deal with. I was having trouble at work. I ended up losing a job because I was getting violent.
