I like food, well honestly I LOVE food, I am addicted to food. I also like alcohol. I like the taste of wine, mixed drinks and hard cider and as with food, one drink can easily lead to another. I have been around alcoholism most of my life so I am aware of the effects of drinking too much. And since I have already established that I have an addictive personality, I don't drink that often. Even when I do I usually limit it to one or two drinks around a social occasion or a stressful day.
But about once every 3-4 years, I let go and go for it. Last weekend I over indulged and enjoyed a little too many spirits when I was at the beach with friends. It took me about 36 hours to recover and my friends are still reminding me of the funny things I said and did. Luckily it was nothing too embarrassing, unlike my last episode 4 years ago when I traveled to Wisp with all of my co-workers. I still wake up cringing about personal things I told after 2 bottles of wine!
Drinking I can control. There are times that I look at the wine or beer in the fridge and I know how good it would taste, but I don't drink it. Why is it that I can't leave the chocolate in the freezer the same way? It is social unacceptable to be fat, but this addiction I can not control.
