Some good news
My daughter just called me to say she made it through an awards luncheon without a drink. She is dreadfully shy about speaking in public and usually she would have had to have a couple of drinks before something like this. The luncheon was in a wine cellar! Champagne first then a different wine with each course. She was so happy with herself although she kept saying" This is a baby step" She was able to talk about her work(painting) without the crutch of a drink. I am really working on detaching when she is down but I don't want to detach from moments like this.
