>I didn't realize you were having at least a glass every night. For some reason, I thought that you had two drinks per month.

**I've been having 2 drinks a month on the average for the last 3 years since I got dx'd with fibromyalgia, but will go on the occasional binge and really feel it. Usually when I can't stand the anxiety or when I'm feeling really good. Lately I've had that phenonmena crop up where now that I'm feeling better, I want to 'celebrate' to keep the high going, like we discussed a few weeks ago. I was finding myself becoming very interested in the fine wine section at Costco. Chardonnay can appear as such an elegant, civilized way to celebrate feeling better, to savor the delights of life once again. Sneaky little demon.

I posted on another thread a helpful book I got with the addiction/abuse thing "The Heart of Addiction", Lance Dodes, MD. It's so far been the most helpful path I've come across to understand the intense drives that make us want to drink/drug, even when we KNOW better. My resolve has always faltered, like your comment about how you'll do when you get home from work, but this book contains some really interesting theories and has helped me keep my resolve. See ya - Barbara
