Wine was my drink too. I am 15 days sober, but have spent 2 years sober for days, once 4 months, at a time. And What a trigger those shows are for me!! Happy Endings is one I watch, and most any drama or comedy ends up with a group or a couple sitting with a glass fo red wine. But on Cougar Town, they really did glorify getting intoxicated. They act tipsy and it is worked into many plots.
Talk about cravings! I should have turned off the TV, I know.
It does not seem to bother me too terribly this time around. But my head is in a better place about quitting.
It is amazing to see how much people drink when you look through sober eyes. And to realize you were one of them.
It will never go away. it is a huge piece of the economy, as well as culture.
I also miss it. I also like the taste for wines, and the history and visiting wineries, etc...
Oh well, I don't drink anymore. And I don't feel like crap this morning.
