I am a recovering alcoholic, and totally feeling you, babe. Fell off the wagon myself a few times, but kept getting back on, and now May 2004 is my sobriety date.

You said something that really snagged my eye: "...This is why I needed a cork or even better a Grolsch beer bottle with the cap that seals to keep it from getting any air. I did go to walmart 2 times yesterday before I went to the liquor store later that night. I really thought I was going to pour it out. How foolish? It is like a little man in my head was making me believe that, and the whole time he knew what he was doing."

I always think of that little man in my head as the devil, or at least, one of his demons. And he definitely knows what he is doing. Have you ever read 'The Screwtape Letters' by C.S. Lewis? It's all about that little man. Jesus is Lord, and the key for many of us to quit and stay quit, is to pray to him for help and guidance. I did, and he sent me to AA. Awful, but like they say, "it works if you work it!" There is a line in the bible about a self sufficient fool falling on his face. Well, that is so many of us when we try to do it on our own. I'm very glad to see you here, this is a very supportive place with many helpful people.

The tea is very interesting, it's been around for quite awhile, and hailed as a magic elixir by some. Have you ever tried white tea? They say it has alot more anntioxidant power than black or green teas, and has less caffeine than black or green tea.


God bless you. Keep up the good work!
