There is soemthing about the aftertaste that reminds me of it.

Hmm, only having tasted my own finger cuts, I can verify that red wine tastes nothing like my blood. Now, if it tastes like everyone else's, I'm sensing a possible career change. Blood sucking vampire.

I will check out this book. I have read tons of codependency books, but dealing with a loved one who is an addict is a "special" class all its own, I think.

In any event, I am about 90% sure that I am moving out this weekend. My boyfriend just returned from a 10 day trip to Alaska last night at 6 p.m. and was drunk and disorderly by 10 p.m. And for the first time, put his hands on me in an aggressive manner. No way I am sticking this one out until his intervention because his anger is clearly spinning out of control. I was out apartment hunting today, which is a positive step for me in getting the focus back on myself and my needs.

Okay, now I am worried. I'm glad you are taking positive steps to take care of yourself. This book will really be eye opening. My mother read it and it was for her. She has a very hard time putting the focus on herself but this helped. You've got to love and respect yourself first and foremost. Also, I assumed that you were married but you are not which tells me you definitely must get the book since you even thought twice about leaving.

Take good care of yourself. It sounds like his bottom is coming very soon and then it is up to him and his higher power to get better.

"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink
I feel shame Then I look into the glass and think
about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes
and dreams If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out
of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say
to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let their
dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."

One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining
the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm.
Here's how it went:
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only
move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is
hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that
are killed first This natural selection is good for the herd as
a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole
group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest
members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as
fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as
we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest
and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption
of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a
faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel
smarter after a few beers."

Non-alc:

Water
Diet Pepsi (plain, or cherry or lime)
Iced Tea (from a powder mix - Crystal Light usually)

Alcohol:

Beer - Labatt Blue Light or Amstel Light, preferably. I rarely drink anything else, but if I do, I like:

White Russian
Screwdriver
Fuzzy Navel
Frozen Margarita w/ lots of salt on the rim
Frozen Mudslide
Whiskey Sour
Suze's Chocolatini at the Cheesecake Factory
Although I hate tomato juice, I had the best drink of my life at the Luxor in Vegas in 2000. That Bloody Mary to die for.

Things I can no longer drink due to past overindulgance, causing me to become very ill:

Southern Comfort. Have not been able to touch this vile stuff due to an unfortunate incident at age 16. I'll spare you the details other than to say there was a lot of vomit involved.

Das Comet (the vanilla version of Rumplemintz) Another unfortunate incident, this time at age 25 or so. Lots of vomit, plus sleeping on friend's bathroom floor.

Slivovitz. I shudder merely at the smell of it.

Amaretto and Sprite or 7up....tastes just like a Sonic Ocean Water
