Hi, Dr. Laura.

Thank you for taking me.

I'm a little nervous, so bear with me.

You're welcome.

Sure.

So about 75 days ago, there's a reason for that number.

I recently discovered that my husband had been drinking more than he admitted in hiding

it.

And that was through a series of text messages with his best friend.

I knew he drank a lot, but not to the extent that I found out. And I kicked him out of the house because we have two small kids.

And he, after about four days, came back, hasn't drank in 75 days, changed his life.

Like, works out, helps around the house, eats healthy.

But he's doing that, I don't know if you're familiar with the 75-day hard challenge.

And he now is coming to the end of that challenge.

And we're talking about what it's going to look like after that.

And he thinks that he is going to be able to drink in moderation, which is where I'm calling you because I just cannot.

I don't agree with that.
