After I've done a lot of chores, yardwork, childcare, errands, etc., I sometimes fantasize about relaxing w/an ice-cold glass of pinot grigio. That's just what it is...a fantasy.
-I would never have one glass.
-I would never sip it liesurely.
-It probably wouldn't be chilled.
-I'd be drinking it alone nervous that someone would catch me.
-Ultimately, I wouldn't relax at all.
What I try to do now is have a cup of tea or hot choc. Sometimes I pick up my knitting project or read. This doesn't sound as sexy as having the pinot, but it works out so much better in the long run.
-No paranoia.
-No loss of self-esteem.
-No physical side effects: hangover.
No contest. I'll take reality over fantasy.
Love to you all...you're all a part of my recovery program. Mary
