Wine is nice with a good meal, but makes me really drowsy / sleepy and is not a smooth transition from imbibbed to normal. Sake hits fast and wears off fast. Beer makes you feel bloated and full.

Shots are where it is at. You sip on some good Bourbon, whiskey or even a really good tequila, limit the drinking to 4-6 shots over the night (I weigh over 200 lbs) and you have yourself a good drinking night and easy recovery the next day.

The most important thing to remember after a night of drinking is to drink a lot of water before you go to bed. I've never woken up with a hangover the times I've remembered to drink plenty of water the night before.

That's good advice, I'll remember that.

Yesterday, being the sabbath, I didn't have a single drink. I need to give my body a rest. It would be well if I went several days without sipping anything that could potentially harm the liver.

I like this new sense of freedom of being able to drink whatever I want without a religion dictating to me what I can and can't do. I have to get used to all this freedom. It's intoxicating!

WTF is green tea? Look, pour yourself a big glass of Jack Daniels and sip it down. You'll be feeling really good within 5 minutes. It works.

If I was to pour myself a big glass of Jack Daniels and sip it all down, I will likely be throwing most of it up within about five minutes later, since it is at least 80 Proof.

You better stick to green tea. Everyone has different tolerances. To tell you the truth, I've been having to cut back on booze because it's catching up with me. I don't feel so good as of late. Too much is not a good thing.

Paul,

Rebelling against a religious stricture for mere rebellion's sake is just another way of being in that stricture's throes.

It's going to take time to heal and work things out. Major life changing events like this are way over the top. I'm just looking for a soft place to land. My two feet would be just great!

Love that morning coffee. Still drinking instant at home. Ain't decided on the right machine yet.

I wonder why no one in the church worried about me at all, when I joined back in the day. Wasn't that a major life change?

Coffee is fine, as long as it's got cream, sugar, and chocolate, and is served frozen or baked in a cake. Other than that... bleah! Too bitter for me.

Yes it was. Whether you're joining or quiting Mormonism it is a gigantic life change. I've been in it my entire life (47 years) and it will always be a part of me. There is no way one can simply get it out of the system. I just need to cope and appreciate the good things about Mormonism that helped me through my life. I'm grateful that I did what I did. It was a wonderful experience and I believe God wanted me to do it. But it ran its course and now there are other things for me to experience in life in order to complete my mission.

Harmony, I'll bet you you've been a wonderful mother and are a great wife. You deserve a chocolate treat today.
