I think you're one of the lustiest women I've ever met with or without a drink in your hand. I haven't drunk alcohol for many many years and don't miss it at all. Some people make a fuss about it but most people don't even notice these days. You may have noticed the comment in Maggie about Tony only drinking when he's thirsty - someone actually said that to me in a pub in Sydney. They were gobsmacked by the idea. My Hubby likes a drink, especially red wine, and resorts to it when he's really stressed but most of the time we relax and connect with a nice cup of tea. Even the ritual of making a pot of tea is relaxing. ML Darling Jodie

Now I feel a bit guilty! I think you’re one of the lustiest women I’ve ever met with or without a drink in your hand.

I do not wish to imply that you are like my mum in your drinking habits, nor that you are on the same road. It is just interesting viewing the whole drinking journey from a different perspective. The first line of my blog post has been haunting me for months, so thankyou for once again providing me with a catalyst to get it out. Thankyou, I have put your link with my post.

In fact, I linked your blog post into your comment for ease of reference. I actually didn't know what triggered your mum's illness and I'm sorry my blog entry troubled you so. I'm not sorry you felt prompted to write your own response though. You're always welcome to link relevant stuff from your blog to mine. Hugs! No, I don’t mind.

It is a topic that is close to my heart, and <a href="http://frogdreaming.wordpress.com/2009/06/08/demon-drink-a-daughters-perspective/" rel="nofollow">it has inspired my own blog post</a>. I hope you don't mind. xx Heya Jodie
