I want to address the process and practice of cutting down on alcohol as opposed to abstaining from alcohol.
A big part of my life has been centered around food and wine, and I really appreciate and know good and great wines and food.
I don't like my preoccupation with wine and how I use it to ease out my considerable anxiety.
On the other hand, my situation is difficult, and meals and wine-tastings are the only sources of social joy for me. (And my dog!
)
Do any of you have thoughts about the goal of cutting back? (I would like to have 2 glasses of wine a day, with frequent days without any wine.)
I would appreciate any and all feedback.
