My eldest and I watched a show last night called "Intervention" on A & E. Has anyone seen this? It is heartwrenching. I am not a fan of reality shows (my reality is drama enough thank you!) The woman on this program was a raging alcoholic (she never drank before she married her 4th husband who was an alcoholic drug addict who died from AL complications 6 months into their marriage)...she went from beautiful career woman to a big mess. Ruined her family, etc. The did an intervention and she went to a 90 day rehab and the change was miraculous! It make me cry. It really hit home - not that I am anywhere near that stage, (she was drinking those big jugs of vodka every day) but AL is a beast and can get out of control so quickly - there but by the grace of God go I! At one point this woman's 17 year old son said "you missed out on my childhood because you were drunk all the time"...how much of my kids lives would I have missed if I didn't stop now? It makes me shudder to think about it. It only makes my resolve that much stronger. Gotta be AF cause I sure as hell can't moderate - at least not wine and I need to be AF for as long as possible. I do not think I can ever go back to drinking wine :upset: but hey, that's life. You know, it's funny - most nights I "wouldn't have time" to sit and watch a program after the baby went to bed...too busy drinking my wine...now I have loads of time. Even had time to cook a bit batch of buckwheat pancakes for breakfasts this week as well as a bunch of grilled tofu with ginger for lunches. Went to bed at 10:30 AND SLEPT! I pray I can do this. I ordered some supps so I hope they come soon.
Hope everyone has a beautiful day (even in this hot and humid weather...YOU SHOULD SEE MY HAIR!!! :H
