Hi Declan,Thanks again for more info, and for your responses and concern. I really appreciate. Yes, I noticed those "4 packs" of wine- bad value, but easier portion conrol, so possibly worth the extra cost temporarily, at least. Usually. The good news is, I just had full blood workup just about 2 weeks ago, and despite the abuse I put myself through, liver and kidneys and pancreas still inexplicably in excellent shape. (Only concern was borderline anemia- but I don't think that is related-though I read recently extreme stress can contribute to iron depletion.)
Geez, I feel almost cursed stresswise, or under some kind of spell. Last night my 7 floor building caught on fire, and I'm on 6. I heard noise in the hall, and opened my door, just to find tons of smoke and the fire dept with a loudspeaker saying, "Everybody stay in your apartment with door tightly shut!. Later, "All clear- fire put out on 4". But the hall was still smokey..and guess what.."Alchohol Reduction Plan" faltered badly, again.
It's really peculiar to me that I have klonopin, so why do I want the alcohol?? Looking for an "escape" from reality in a way. A desire for some kind of "reality adjustment". It's gotten WAY too cold for my premium stress reducer- outdoor bikerides in the sun, so I need to come up with something else. The gym is great- but not exactly nearly as effective, satisfying, or fun. And no sunlight. Like I said, a truely strange rash of really stressful events, most totally out of my control. I don't get it. And no, that chocolate-with-advil nonsense we read about last summer didn't work. :)
Anyway, I like that idea of actually drawing lines on the wine bottle- that's a really good one. No "looks a little kind of like half, in a way" that way! I'm so happy you shared that story.
Be well,
Laima
