From Mark ...

God morning again,

I just responded to one of my other ‘clients’ who was concerned that she was drinking too much wine and didn’t know what to do about it.
My reply was simple and direct and it occurred to me that it might be helpful to some of YOU. So here it is below:


I used to drink wine… one day it occurred to me that I drink wine in order to produce ‘feel good’ brain chemistry but I always pay a cost when the chemistry wears off and I not only feel worse later, but I have polluted my body with empty calories… I then realized that using an outside source (such as wine) to alter my brain chemistry weakens my own internal ability to do it… kind of like taking an elevator instead of the stairs allows my muscles to atrophy… until one day the elevator isn’t working and I CAN’T take the stairs because I’m too weak.
So I stopped drinking and began ‘exercising’ my ability to produce the same happy chemistry that alcohol creates… and NOW I can get ‘high’ any time I want day and night without the help of anything or anyone and without any nasty side effects. It’s worth developing this ‘skill’.
LOVE!
