Double DippingI have only recently started cringing at double dipping - I grew up doing it! I have never been made ill by it nor am I a picking person. What was the person with the breadstick meant to do - throw it away half eaten, break off the end which had been by his mouth? How do we eat a buffet without double dipping? I see people lifting food and then replacing it - is this the same? I think we have become over zealous and developed habits which are over picky. But I have begun cringing!!!!ViewDate:

Alcohol dependencyI was married for over 33 years and my husband and I drank almost every night. Not more than a bottle each! Or socially each night with friends in the pub. We never considered ourselves alcoholics, it was just something we did. We parted about 10 years ago and I lost most of our friends. So I drank at home mostly out of boredom. I hated the lack of control. I cut down slowly, 1 night not drinking 1 night with 2 glasses of wine and sometimes back to the bottle! I now only drink socially and then at the max 2 glasses. I wouldn't class myself as an alcoholic but perhaps I was????? When you have your home and life around you and have a pattern of things you do it can be hard to motivate yourself. I found it too easy to sit in the evenings and relax over a glass of wine.
