You know, I have reached for a glass of wine, in the past (gotcha didn't I), when I had situations in my life that made me upset and this week I have had several, yesterday being no exception. But, the thing is, I had decided that I wasn't going to drink, for JUST ONE YEAR, so it seems like, in my head, the option isn't really there right now to take that road to calm the nerves. Actually, in retrospect, I didn't need the glass of wine to calm the nerves because the little problem that I had yesterday wasn't all that terrible, I worked it out without cocktails and I am glad that I did it with a clear head.
I just wanted to say one thing to anyone who may ever read this. One of the reasons that I felt I could do this was my dear friend Jerome. He stopped smoking and drinking, cold turkey, the day he found out had lung cancer. If you had asked him to stop those things before his diagnosis, he would have given you lots of reasons why it was too difficult or not necessary. If he can do it, I can do it and I don't want to wait until I have a stroke from high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
Many prayers for Jerome in his difficult journey recovering from lung cancer. We love you.
