Alright… so I’ve survived a thimble-full of Baileys, and the single dosage of beer. What have I learned from this?
First of all, I can control alcohol intake. But I’d be a fool to merrily return to the free range consumption of liquor. I intend, instead, to resume my tea-turtle stance for a good long period.
If, come say summertime, or something like that, I’m still under control, I might take the experiment a step further. How so? A bottle o’ wine… perhaps? That’d be a real test. As it’d entail maintaining control over time. Ie not just slugging the whole bottle.
But for now, it’s back to abstention. And very happily so. It’s saving me money. It’s undoubtedly good for my health, both physical and mental/psychological. and I’m joust enjoying the sense of control.
