I am a 28 year old Mother and wife. I have an 8 month old daughter and and a 9 year old stepson who are my world.  I just recently got out of the Navy.  I served for 8 years.  I did 2 ship board deployments and one ground deployment in Iraq which I feel has forever changed me.  I chose to open a new chapter in my life so here I am. 

I came from a very difficult background.  Both my parents were addicted to drugs and alcohol and unfortunately it led to thier demise.  I was taken away from the at the age of 13 by the state and I was put in rehab for 18 months.  I was using drugs and alcohol since the age of 11.  There the owners of the residential treatment facility decided to take me into their family as a foster child.  I completed the program and gained a very loving and supportive family.  I graduated High School and shortly after that I enlisted in the Navy.

I want to be a good Mother, Wife, and person.  I just enrolled in School and am pursuing my Degree in Psychology.  Since having my daughter I have gained allot of wieght and I want to learn to live a healthy lifestyle not just to lose wieght but to be a good role model for my children.  I also have battle with nicotene dependance my eniter adult and half of my teen life.  I am on day 3 of not smoking after a 3 weeek binger of smoking.  Before that I was 6 months smoke free.
