I hear ya Charles. I kept up with the growing after my ex left because I felt it was so medicinally valuable for my anxiety, panic, and insomnia. I've found as a side effect that I drink MUCH less; I'd gotten to a point where I felt that while I wasn't physically addicted to alcohol, my drinking was problematic. I'd go through an 18 rack a week easy at the house... I think a lot of that was self-medication to deal with the anxiety I've always struggled with. Over the last year or so I've become much more conscious of that, and I've been drinking less and less each month, and feeling better physically, and I've lost 25 pounds since MArch. In the past week I have had -count em- 2 beers and a half glass of wine with thanksgiving dinner. It's great. I'm really glad I found this sutff...
