Hi Jeanie,
Yes,the weekend again. I have to work tomorrow, my weekend starts on Saturday.Of course that didn't stop me from opening a bottle of wine to go with our pizza tonight.
I think it's a good plan to alternate alcohol,pop or juice. I've done that my entire life,I'm drinking a bottle of water along with my wine this very minute!!
When I think about it, that has probably been the reason that I can cut down and don't feel that I need to completely abstain.I know that I can have a drink later.
I am also a very thirsty person,always need lots of liquid.So I have water with me all day,drinking alcohol or not.
When I used to go to the bar with friends I would pretend that my Coke was spiked with Rye or Vodka.My Water was Vodka and Seven,try to snag a lime wedge and they'll think you're having a cocktail.
People would go crazy if I told them I wasn't drinking .I also used to take my glass to the washroom at the bar and fill it up with water at the sink.I found that the Bartenders,wait staff had no interest in getting me a glass of water.I guess I should have tipped better!
I think I'm a few years older than you.
I love to stay home with my Husband and share a nice meal,wine,movie.Life is good,I partied hearty for years now I love staying home and relaxing.
I want to plant some tomatoes,peppers and herbs for summer.I like to grow all the ingredients for fresh salsa.Makes me feel green.
Take care and I will also check back for you this weekend.
Bye Friend,take it easy.
