[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right there with you, OP. I used to drink just socially, although often too much (because hey, we were young and 3-4 glasses was nbd). Then I had a kid with colic and a glass of wine, perhaps in the bath, was the easiest way to get a little me time and relax. So it became a habit, especially during the pre-Covid years where I had the daily grind of school drop off, rush to the office, rush home and get dinner on the table, etc. luckily, I don’t have a genetic tendency towards physical addiction, so it never got more than a glass a day. And like you, I didn’t do anything for awhile because we were told that a glass of red wine was okay, perhaps good for us. But now that I’m in menopause I think it affects me more and I’m trying to dial it back and figure out a new way of drinking where it’s occasional and not just habit. Luckily, the kids are older and one is off to college so I have a lot more me time to do other things to wind down.[/quote]

Right - life with young kids when you work is just grind. Wake up early, school and breakfast then work often at place you don’t like, come home and be a good mom for 4 hours and then go to bed. [/quote]
