Hi all,
Ask, good for you to put your foot down! You too Eve. I successfully had just one glass with a meal in a restaurant yesterday. I thought about another, but the lunch wasn't that big, and my food was nearly gone at the end of my first glass. We had been walking around outside shopping and I was thirsty, so I kept drinking water instead of wine. Then it crossed my mind to have another at home, but I decided against it. Good for me! I'm having some friends over this week Thurs for a late summer celebration. We will share wine, and I really don't like to drink twice in a week, so I am very happy about stopping at one glass.
Last summer, I invited this same group over, but it turned out that most of them couldn't make it. I had already purchased some wine in big bottles - drinkable but my husband won't touch anything out of a big bottle. He was away at his mom's for a few days, I was not working that week, and I drank it all, over the course of a few days! Boy, that's never going to happen again. Now I serve my friends only wine that he will drink. When they go home, the rest goes back in the basement, where I won't touch it.
So Vlad, this story is something like what happened to you: we set ourselves unintentional traps. Just move forward, learn from the experience.
