DESCRIPTION:Russ Cockrum sought solace at the noncommissioned officers cl
 ub while stationed on the tense demilitarized zone between North and Sou
 th Korea during the Vietnam War. Nickel beers and shots of whiskey for a
  dime led to a lot of drinking.\n&ldquo\;In the military in a hostile si
 tuation you&rsquo\;re either scared to death or bored to death\,&rdquo\;
  Cockrum says. &ldquo\;Both can lead to alcohol abuse.&rdquo\;\nAs Cockr
 um returned stateside\, in addition to alcohol he began using illegal dr
 ugs before being discharged from the U.S. Army.\n&ldquo\;He came home a 
 totally different person\,&rdquo\; recalls wife Judy\, who had given bir

 South Korea. Judy\, who married the 20-year-old Russ when she was 19\, s

  joining her husband in using various mind-altering psychedelic drugs.\n
 &ldquo\;He got excited about trying new drugs\,&rdquo\; Judy says. &ldqu
 o\;We&rsquo\;d get a babysitter and go to parties.&rdquo\;\nThe potpourr
 i started with marijuana and graduated to acid\, peyote and mescaline. T
 he couple became disillusioned hippies.\nDrug use escalated as Russ work
 ed as a photographer for the Bloomington\, Ind.\, newspaper and Judy gav
 e birth to a second son\, Ken. Along the way\, Russ explored Hinduism\, 
 Buddhism and Native American religions.\n&ldquo\;I was searching for God
  in all the wrong ways and all the wrong places\,&rdquo\; Russ says.&nbs
