Hi Im Sharon and Im an alcoholic.
By the Grace of my HP and people
like u here in SR I havent had a
drink of alcohol since 8-11-90.
For that and u Im truely grateful.
I use to make a mean pot of speghetti
using the real Sherry in it for flavoring...
No i didnt cook with it..i added it at the
end so the dish could soak up that wonderful
sherry flavor....yum....
That was before I got sober 16 yrs ago.
Today, i dont make a mean pot of speghetti
anymore with alcohol but its flavorable with
other wonderful seasoning available.
I learned when i got sober that ALL alcohol
is "poison" to me. I dont have it in my home,
so im not tempted in case i have an off day.
If i go to a resturant...i read the menu and
whats in each dish..that way i know to
avoid those dishes made with alcohol.
Im not into whether alcohol is burned off
or not...this issue is for me is to stay away
from Alcohol all together. To say its ok to
have a dish where alcohol is cooked off
allows me to say its ok to have that one
that time, then its ok to have something
else another time and before i know it,
the obsession to want it...to need it...
to have it begins....and believe me one
sip, one glass, one of anything will NEVER
be enough to quench my thirst for alcohol.
Thank you for letting me share.
