Hello, I haven't read through this thread. I will need to do that later when I have more time.
I do have a question about the beast (and this may be a dumb question). How do some people only drink one or two glasses of wine every once in awhile without having the obssessive thoughts and need to drink more. I mean if we all have this beast within, why is it so much louder with some of us?
Is it because we have been feeding ours on a regular basis. I have friends who drink wine now and then, they stop at 2 glasses and they probably don't think about it until their next time.
