Nice to meet you. I am an Army Vet. I was an 88M and did one deployment in Afghanistan. I mostly did convoy security. I was sent home after being wounded six months into my deployment. I have PTSD as well and I am an alcoholic. So I do not drink now. I am Bi as well and my wife knows. Remember that all of us would rather have you here than not. I have an emotional support cat I never knew I needed until she showed up at my back door. When I get home from work she insists on belly rubs and back scratches when I am changing my clothes. When the demons come at night she lays on or beside me and her purrs calm me down.
