Unfortunately I am just not the type...Thanks Ruth. Unfortunately I am just not the type to stop at one glass, I will always have at least two, so I am thinking that my strategy should be to not drink alone at home. If other people are with me perhaps social pressure will keep me on the straight and narrow.<br /><br />Thank you for your sweet and supportive note.fishwithoutbicyclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12071691302805126529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1429416575218781426.post-35521737259034879082010-08-04T14:44:11.446-04:002010-08-04T14:44:11.446-04:00Don't stress too much for having "fallen ...Don't stress too much for having "fallen off the wagon" as they say. Just pick yourself up and start over again. Today is a new day, and you can feel good about yourself for having AGAIN taken the pledge to be alcohol free. <br /><br />That being said, I don't think the occasional drink of wine means that you are an alcoholic. Just because you have it in your family does not mean you yourself are destined to become one. It just means that you are aware of the problem and know what it does to families and friends, and can therefore make an informed decision when you do decide to have a drink.<br /><br />Half a bottle... not so good. All things in moderation!<br /><br />You should reward yourself occasionally by giving yourself a glass of wine - say once a week, perhaps on a Friday night to celebrate having survived the week. It will give you something to look forward to and you will satisfy any cravings you might have, yet still limit your intake and allow yourself to be well hydrated.<br /><br />I've never been to Peru (and am so very jealous that you're going - I want to hear ALL about it) but I do know that being well hydrated is not an old wives tale - it really does help numerous traveling woes.
