Hi all,
Great thread. I agree, for me it is hard to imagine life without wine or another beverage. How do we celebrate life's joys or drown its sorrows. Without it in the evening the time looms large and dull and boring. For me, when I hide it I feel that I am breaking my "goody two shoes" mold. I am being daring, interesting. How truly sad. I have never said that (or written it) out loud. For a long time as I have tried to get a handle on this I have made a point of noting at certain times (when I have managed) that I am glad not to be drinking. It could be when I have had a really good conversation with my daughter or even a disagreement. When I have attended an evening event and did not need to worry about gum or mints (as if they really work). When I have been awakened by a sick child!
Taking baby steps on this path!
