P.s. I should add that these days I don't drink as much at home - by sheer determination. Always determination. Until a few months ago, I was the bottle-hiding, sneaking type. I've managed to cut down significantly - replacing drinks with V8 and Tabasco. The endorphins from the chilli really seem to help me... I've noticed huge improvements at work (my productivity) and in my appearance. So I'm at the "should I / can I go the whole way?" phase. Or maybe "must I?" Last week, I went to a family soirée kinda thing and had a glass of wine. Drove home with my daughter, got her to bed. Ended up having a whole bottle by myself, doing nothing. Just that one "family" drink set me off... on a night I'd usually just V8 it.
A bit more of where I am at...
