Your last supper...

If it was your last supper spent alone......would you drink wine with it?

What happens after I'm done eating it? I'm not religious so I don't fully understand the concept of the last supper.

If this was your last meal and last evening would you drink? No tomorrow! No consequences, would you want to live your last evening with alcohol?

If I were on Death Row, yes.
If I were Jesus, no.

No particular reason why.

No I don't think I would. Time would be the most precious thing and I'd think I'd like to be aware of every second of it.
Good question! Thank you.

When I saw the topic, my first thought was halibut. I think that if I knew it were my last night on this earth and I was offered a glass of wine with dinner, I might accept. My next thought is if wine isn't an option, I would want water with lemon. I'm early in recovery, so NOT thinking of drinking to oblivion is progress! Maybe with a few years of sobriety under my belt, my answer will change to a firm no?

Desperate times call for desperate measures?
I'll agree to the desperation. But that would be in a bad moment/mood, honestly my mental energy regarding any mealtime beverage is between none (I think I have my grandparents to thank for that, for some reason our family rarely drank anything while eating) or sweet tea and only after I finish eating

Straight up answer from where I am right now...

Yes ... I would have a good wine with a special meal, well paired. It is probably one of the really good things about drinking that I miss. Not about effect, but about flavor.

I know that isn't the wanted response, but it is my truth today. (not a god person).

I guess the real point is I don't have any indication that I will be eating my last meal today .... I may be around for a very long time (or maybe not). So drinking today in case it is my last meal is not something I need to consider.

Dying sober isn't my goal. Living sober is

Not sure why you asked the question, If it is just about playing a game, that would be sad. If you really are struggling with this, why you are asking might be a more enlightening post for you and other's

No.

When I decided to get sober, I knew it meant forever. Thinking about loopholes is really just thinking about drinking.

Not a chance. I decided years ago I would never drink again. I used to mean it, and I still do.

No, because I don't even WANT the feeling that I used to use alcohol to get. I don't want the false chemically induced "relaxation" Or being dizzy and out of control. And worse of all, when I drink a little it sets off a craving for more that is 100 times worse than if I have none.
Plus, I wouldn't even be able to taste the food, because most of it would be spilt down my jumper, cos I can't even aim food into a mouth as big as mine once Ive had a drink

Quite apart from the fact I never drank just one glass of wine...I expect I'd have a lot more pressing things to deal with - alcohol just isn't important to me anymore - it wouldn't even come up on the radar.

Honestly

It is an interesting question...and truth be told we never really know what we will do in an extreme scenario!....
...I can't imagine that I would be thinking that much about food or wine.
My thoughts and actions would be to squeeze every last minute I can with my family.
