Every weekend, and a couple of nights a week. Either a beer, or a beer and then some. My kidney’s can’t handle it. I have to stop ignoring my body’s cry and stop drinking so much alcohol. It’s a release for me, to not hurt, physically. But it’s becoming too frequent. Even my friends have noted this and have been upset with me about having a beer in my hand all the time. It’s very difficult. I don’t feel as though I have a drinking problem. But I don’t want to stop drinking either. I enjoy it. It relaxes me and it makes the pain more managable. But I feel as though it’s getting excessive. So I’m going to slow it down…and/or stop…haven’t decided that yet.
