I Ditched My Daily Wine Habit
It was the best decision I ever made.
Let me just start by saying that I have a reputation for playing on the wild side in my twenties. My husband and I both did, at least before we settled down into married life together.
Flash forward fifteen years, and I find myself looking back on the life I left behind. You know, now that I’ve gained some perspective. Grown up, I guess. It sure has taken awhile.
But then I’ve always been a late bloomer.
Then again I did come from the Dazed and Confused generation. That movie was a big deal in 1993, my senior year of high school. I admit, my peers and I were influenced by that film, with its humorous glimpse of high school in the seventies (emphasis on high) mixed with a sense of helplessness for the future.
Like the characters in the movie and the people I surrounded myself with, I didn’t have a clue as to what the hell I was going to do after I graduated. So I slipped into party mode and stayed there for the next decade.

What can I say. It was always a party with us, neither one of us ever sober together in those early…
