Windy,
No, I certainly do not think that [b]"A"[/b] glass of wine after dinner is going to hurt you... in fact, many red wines, when drank in moderation, can have some medicinal benefits for the heart and the digestive system. Yes, replacing one addiction for another is dangerous, but ONE glass of wine after dinner is hardly considered an addiction... just make sure that it stays at that.
The only problem that I see with this is the lowered inhibitions that often come with imbibing. You can have one or two drinks and usually be fine, but if you decide to drink more than that when you are, say with your sister-in-laws, you might find that alcohol IS a trigger, and if you're not strong enough, or are too drunk to combat the junkie talk when you're less than sober, then you might find yourself in a situation that you don't want to be in... e.g. - smoking. So be careful when you go out drinking... limit your drinking to no more than 2 drinks for the entire night until you are more secure in your quit. Have fun and don't worry about becoming an alcoholic off of one glass of wine.
Crave the Quit!
