Oh so true, Ananda - feelings of discomfort automatically bring on the desire to calm ourselves down with booze, the way we once did. I strived for so many years to recreate the good old days, almost killing myself in the process. Drinking can never again be a comforting, fun, enhancement to our lives. Regrettably, it takes so long for us to realize that. This was a good share. I hope you can hold on to those good feelings, you deserve it. Love, Joanie
