| Yes, I would say there is a problem. I started drinking wine in response to stress I was experiencing while attending University part-time while working full-time in a demanding and stressful career. Wine was fun, it was culture, it was poetic, it was many things. It still is...I drink a bottle of wine a night and notice when I do, I am putting off my studies and other things requiring time better spent. I've noticed that wine produces a craving, a sense of luxury and relaxation that is ultimately expensive and draining of resources financially and health wise. I've put on weight and with that an increasing tolerance to the effects of alcohol which ultimately, leaves me unsatisfied with just one bottle. I used to smoke many years ago and quit after realizing 20 cigs was not enough, there was never enough, which I believe is the key indicator of addiction. My solutions then was to channel that desire into sports and meditation and yoga which captivated me for 18 years. I think too much focus on my career and education and long hours spent inert has created an imbalance in my lifestyle and I have to find ways to achieve equilibrium by making time for exercise, nature, and spiritual pursuits. This is my anecdote; I'm sure you wil find yours and apply a suitable solution. |
