Of course, what sounds good on paper, may not work out so well in practice. However, I believe you should make use of the resources available. You goal should be to get sober; try to let the worries go, as your worrying about something that hasn't yet happened, and probably won't happen.

Good luck, and keep reading and posting here; there is a lot of support here.
This would be close to my answer. If you were active serving I would say 'just stop' and don't go on record but from my limited experience the military tends to carry a big stick on its soldiers and walk softly on spouses due to a long lineage of problems caused between the relationship.

I'd discuss it with your husband if possible before hand. I was in a combat unit so I know little about how the administrative side functions outside of trying to circumvent them as much as possible.

I'm not an expert by a long shot however. I wish you nothing but luck.
