[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am enjoying waking up early on this Saturday morning and not having a twinge of a wine headache and feeling extra sluggish. Had a great night sleep and feeling motivated to get stuff done around the house...I wish I could bottle up this feelings (no pun intended) and remember it when I am itching to pour myself a glass of wine.

I saw someone encouraging people to "play the tape forward" when you want a drink.  That really resonated, and absolutely worked for me last night when I was craving a cocktail.

If I "play the tape forward" I see that I will certainly have 15 minutes of feeling great as I relax, drink it, and begin to feel the effects.  But then I'll have three more while I binge eat, text things I shouldn't, "watch" something on TV that I will barely remember, make drunk Amazon purchases, and maybe get in a dumb mini-argument with my spouse.  I'll wake up feeling sluggish and not be present for much of the next day.

When I really think that through, it is easy to decide to pass on the cocktail.

Just passing that along if it works for others![/quote]
