Appreciative
Thank you all for the kind and helpful words, this will be a good place for me (that I will have access to!). Business trip to Chicago. Not a long one and I can probably even get out of a dinner to avoid the wine with dinner issue. But my trick has always been get a nice bottle (s) and bring it back to the room. I'm just sick of the extra weight too - and as I get older, my Dr. visits are getting a lot less forgiving. There is nothing good about my continuing to drink so the fact that it's something I still have to convince myself NOT to do gives me chills. I like the reward idea. :-) This is helping.
