As quite a young person I got a job in a bar and was encouraged to drink ?my mistakes? meaning any kind of mis-pour. I noticed that alcohol was kind of like ?petrol?. I was on a very low wage and never had much to eat. I used those mistakes to keep me going through my shifts.
Alcohol gave me a real shot of power and I?ve never understood why. Caffine was kind of the opposite ? first shot yes, after that I?d slow right down.
Click to many years later and I?ve got blood sugar and insulin resistance issues. All my other tests come back as fine - liver, cholesterol, etc are fully functional. My only big warning sign is my blood sugar levels.
I am fine with quitting (I?m quite an expert now) but can?t stay quit. My problem is when I?m hit with a serious ?low energy? situation where I need to perform..... which is ALL THE TIME! (I?m on full-time duty both at home and at work, 3 kids between 12-20 with no family to help etc for last 10 years or so).
Breaking point is where I?m needing that energy. Each time I?m living AF and wonderful and happy.. then something hits me.. like disaster flu or whatever. I?m turning to AL to power through it. It works every time for me. But of course.. not my original intention! Then it?s sooooo hard to start again.
I?m a weird case.. not a person who gets sleepy on a glass of wine.. I get totally REVVED UP! Why the heck is that?

:H However, it gives me energy too. Especially at first. Sometimes when I was dragging in the evening after work and only wanted to sleep, which is what I should've done, I would have a drink, then another and the energy would kick in. Seems like I read that was a symptom of something...where AL gives you energy instead of making you sleepy.
