Addiction & Recovery

to make sure your systems are okay, you eat well and exercise, and your relationships are healthy, I'd say you're okay...

Except for the fact that you are questioning it for yourself. You indicate some concern. You are getting older, so maybe you have a natural inclination to reduce your intake. Also the drinking and driving is flirting with disaster. Don't do it.

The thing is, whether someone says it's okay or not okay isn't going to be as important as what you say to yourself in the mirror. Instead of having alcohol as an accessory, be mindful and give your attention to your beverage. Really take time to choose something good and savor it. Whether it is a pairing with food or a good little warming buzz.

You're an adult. You're allowed. Just be careful. Mind your health and safety.
