Bizi,

I am going to respond to more of this later -- on way to bed now.

'I wish you did not feel shame.

Treat yourself as well as you would others ---no moral failure involved.
Be kind to yourself.
Maybe try not to associate drinking with bad or good. It just "is."


Re glasses: I recently bought a pair with purple frames. I love them but they are heavier
than the old light weight wire frames -- after a few hours I feel the weight.
Maybe I am just not used to them.

Hope you like yours.
