After a year off I'll probably be wasted after two wines (a bit like my Mum used to be. Ha. Turning into my mother...)Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10572561532756471821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771057587785686669.post-344641987337785342010-01-17T22:29:27.854+11:002010-01-17T22:29:27.854+11:00Can't remember how I came across your blog... ...Can't remember how I came across your blog... was from either a magazine or online article I believe.<br /><br />Anyway, just wanted to congratulate your success so far.<br /><br />I use to be in the same boat, I quit smoking and then started drinking to get through the cravings and such (I rarely drank before then) so it was from one addiction to the next and over a short period of time I found myself drinking more and more and becoming a psycho emotional wreck drunk bitch. Then I started the decend into what I imagine is the mindset of an alcoholic (my father is coincidently an alcoholic)... when I started to see these signs, I quit - I was lucky to have the will power (but mostly did not want to become my father). I wasn't horrible, and nothing really bad happened, but I could see what the future held for me if I didn't get myself sorted out.<br /><br />I didn't go to AA or anything like that, I have never classified myself an alcoholic. I guess I just wasn't in the right mindset at that point in my life to be responsible with drinking. <br />These days I may have a glass of wine once a month, maybe less idk... it's not something I think about. Frankly I prefer not to drink as I've found I hate the feeling of being tipsy or drunk. I find alcohol effects me quickly now too. I also find after one or two glasses I don't want anymore.<br /><br />So it was a success. I am positive you will succeed with this too.Tootsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16878227185803338880noreply@blogger.com
