thank you for the perfect piece as i head into my new year's 'revolution' time... 1/1 NY, and 2/2... my b-day, make me a natural 'resolver' and my 'relationship' with my buddy booze over the last 4 years has been interesting.

come to think of it, it was about 3 years ago i 'discovered' PTSD... as in a therapist quite plainly showed me... i got a solid case of it.

my millenial-shrink even enrolled me in trauma school... and i graduated! even got a certificate!

what a game changer.

until your piece i'd never heard what i've experienced, i thought 'separately' with alcohol and w/my new partner in anxiety PTSD as being 'related' therefore me wanting to change my relationship with boozy-beverages, not necessarily eliminate them all together.

so great stuff, ms. leah and extra props for not doling out 'mocktail' [even the word annoys the EFF out of me]... but actual adult bevvies that do actual things, naturally... including provide some 'chemistry' w/less punch, if you will.

what a lovely xmas prezzie!
