Daily Dry White Wine

Daily Dry White Wine

So, here’s the thing. I sometimes will drink a whole bottle of white wine throughout the day. I’ll usually do this for a week or two, then stop for awhile, and maybe have a glass here or there, and then do it again at a later time. This generally happens when my brain goes into vacation mode, when the schedule is clear (summer/winter vacation), and when I don’t have to leave the house (currently a SAHM/Housewife). I usually start around 2-3pm and finish the whole bottle around 9pm. Then i stay up another hour and half before bed drinking water and hot tea. I cook, clean, play with the kids, pay bills, eat, drink water and the occasional electrolytes during this process. Basically, all the normal things a mom and Housewife would do in a typical day. I also exercise every single day with weight lifting and I’m a distance runner. I see a doctor regularly and am in very good health as a 40 year old woman. Husband isn’t a big drinker at all, and says I’m perfectly fine with what I’m doing. I do not get drunk and if I even feel a buzz, I put the glass down and reach for the water/electrolytes and food. It is extremely rare that I ever overindulge, and if that happens, I am with my husband. Never in a group setting or party or anything like that. Anyway…. I am getting sucked into the social media thing of “mommy wine culture”, and I’m starting to view myself badly. Like, maybe I do have a problem? But I’m unsure. It seems that you’re either an alcoholic or you’re completely sober. Is there an inbetween? I don’t need the alcohol, I am able to stop and am very aware of it’s effects. I just enjoy it! I enjoy the relaxation aspect of sipping wine. The entire act of it is very relaxing to me. And yes, i do look forward to 2-3pm! So there you have it. Thoughts? Please be honest and kind…. THANK YOU!!
