Good morning ladies and gents (and others!!!). Brilliant sunny but not too hot day here in Kiwiland - I am so glad to be home but I have to take to the skies for a trip to India in a few days time. Mick - I have already drunk my tea and am now brewing the coffee. Care for some? Or wrong time of the day for you?
SF - your pain was raw - how are you now? Did you get through the weekend OK? Kuya is right - its poison - but Porquoi also reminded us of the Beast lurking in our brains, or in the corner of the room, or in the liquor store, supermarket, - in so many places. And many people can drink AL - and not have a Beast to contend with. Wine and liquor have been with us for centuries - its just that not everyone can process the AL. Or to put it another way - we humans know how to process sugar from sugarcane - but its fatal for lots of people. Same with dairy products/lactose - I love my dairy and I can handle it - but millions of people (esp in Asia) are lactose intolerant. Not that this will help the panic attacks - or the cravings - I know I don't think about the rational shit when I want a drink (or 15,000 drinks).
Good luck with the production Nurdl. Last night I went out to see my daughter in a little play and she was fab of course! (she had to improvise because half the other kids forgot their lines) . again I was reminded of my new freedom - being able to drive at night and attend a play (and not be thinking about the wine waiting for me at home). Long may this last - please, please please.
Take care all - stay warm as the wintery chills descend in your regions. I hope I am still on this thread in July 2013 - so you guys can see how miserable the weather gets at that time of the year down here - while you are having your turn at sunshine. And don't forget SAD - seasonal affective disorder - it can also add to the yukky feelings in winter.
