First - Savon, that was hilarious. What we say in our drinking minds would be fodder for the best comics. Things we say to ourselves that we would NEVER speak out loud. And left unchecked, what does it get us? Well, usually drunk.
Second - WorkinProgress. Your perspective is wonderful. It went beyond the avoidance strategy that many of us use, at least initially. But to cultivate the kinder, gentler voice is key not only to taming our booze tastes but to bolstering our entire self esteem. How many times do we look in the mirror and hear an inner voice tell ourselves how fat and ugly we are? Or if not that harsh, give a tsk tsk for that slightly wide hip line, or the less than stellar skin tone or those whacky toes? Out with all this garbage!!!
And IGAT - welcome. Feel free to jump in on any thread. Perhaps you'd like to start a thread to introduce yourself. And I'm no computer whiz here, but using what looks like your email address for your MWO name may not be the best thing. You can go to the control panel (I think - anyone more site saavy correct me here) and give yourself a name without the hotmail tag.
