My husband left for Afghanistan May, and that's why I've been lurking here! There hasn't been one night in the past 4 months he's been gone where I haven't downed 3 or 4 tall tumblers of gin & tonic. Before that, he was deployed to Kosovo, and it was the same thing. I bought the book, supplements, and am ready to get on with living a healthier life. I've spent hours reading the posts on this website, just haven't mustered up the guts to depart from my night time ritual! Help!

Well, my husband is still in Afghanistan, and I'm doing a pretty lousy job of coping with my fear, lonliness, and plain old exhaustion from taking care of everything here alone. I went 1 month AF in August, but, slowly started back into the same habit of downing enough alcohol each night to be about one drink shy of passing out. Of course, like many of you, this whole drinking thing is a big secret that nobody around me knows about. So, there's boatloads of guilt, too. My palms are sweating, and my hands are shaking while writing the truth "on paper". I'm disgusted with myself!
I'm here because I know I need the support of others going through the same thing. My goal is Abs for now, starting TODAY -- I don't know if moderation will ever be an option. I've read the book, take the supps, and am exercising. I'm going to try without Topa, as we live in a small Military community, and people talk....
So, there it is! I'm praying for strength and courage to walk this new road.
