I can’t thank you enough for sharing this. We all come to things in our own time and I think it’s wonderful you are paying attention to what matters most to you. We are at similar places of asking questions and, at those times, support is so important. I hope we can be that for one another and all of us asking similar questions.
Best,
Jenna

For the first time in ever and a day, I passed up a drink. I actually said “no.” The sentiments you expressed above I relate to, especially that feeling of deprivation, that place of escape. If I don ‘t drink, then what? How will I fill that void? Cooking without a glass of wine? Socializing without a few glasses of wine? Thank you for your sobering honesty.

They’re tricky, emotions and satisfaction and the stories we create about what we deserve and what we can and cannot get. Staying with it moment to moment is the only way I’ve found to make any sense of it…or not :)

I just needed to put that out there so I didn’t start to believe I had done away with that desire. Every time I check, I think to myself “nope, still there!”

Goodness, I feel so much of this and thank you so much for so clearly and elegantly untangling my own complicated emotions around food and alcohol. I loved this:

I, on the other hand, am still learning to sit with the knowledge that I’m different and the awareness that not drinking is one of the tradeoffs that comes as a result of being honest with myself.

I found it about a week ago, and read everything in a few hours. Your ability to nail your feelings and reactions is so very helpful to others, like me, who don’t seem to be alcoholic but need not to drink. Thanks from a friend of Susan Piver’s.
