Something to think about
 
The other night when I went out to dinner I wanted a glass of wine sooo bad.It made me mad and then sad.
Later I was thinking..When did I ever have one glass of wine.
I didn't want a glass of wine..I wanted a bottle or more.
So now when I think of a drink, I know that there wont be just one and then I
think again.

Exactly, I thought about how nice it would be for a glass tonight, then I thought well if I have a glass I will want the whole bottle...sigh....so I didn't have any wine :)

Good for you Lily!! So proud of you! There really isnt much point in a glass of wine is there?

No there isn't.....I am sure the moscato makers are wondering why they have seen a decrease in revenue the past few weeks.....

This hits home. I did the same thing today, but it was with my husbands beer that's in the fridge. I thought, "I'll grab one and sit here and chill out." Then I thought, "one beer is just enough to make me mad. Ill have them all drank in 10 min and wonder how I drank them all." It's a constant battle with myself. Luckily, tonight I won that battle!!
Good for you! Congratulations and keep up the great work!!!

YES! I totally get you. I stopped at the store for bread on the way home and ended up standing and staring at the beer for like 5 minutes. The clerk must have thought I was crazy. It just stopped me dead in my tracks. And I wanted just one beer so bad, but I thought it through and knew full well that one beer would never ever be enough.

I've felt the same way many times. I now tell myself that I had enough wine for a life time!

Right there with all of you. The Pinot Grigio business in San Diego has taken a hit as well!

Chardonnay sales plummeted in the midwest!

We drink to get drunk. It is not the journey, beer, wine, vodka. It is the destination that we all share
