This is my own personal cause & for those that don't have one, they may want to think about donating to one of the Sarcoma
Foundations below. My mother passed away from a rare form of cancer called Lipsarcoma. It is one of about 50 subtypes of sarcomas that affect all age groups from the youngest to the oldest. It is a
"a cancer that begins in the muscle, fat, fibrous tissue, blood vessels, or other supporting tissue of the body". There is no cure & funding is low because of its rarity. As some of you may know,
the rarer the form of cancer, the less money that is usually allocated to it by the larger organizations or the NIH (National Health Institute) as well as fewer people donate because they just don't
know about it. This cancer just keeps coming back, grows back where it already was & spreads to other areas as well. You can learn more about it at these links.

I gave up alchohol at the beginning of December last year. Odd time to do it, just prior to my birthday, Christmas and New Year. But I made up my mind.

I wonder if this normal? I've taken to drinking my mineral water out of a wine glass to satisfy the craves on some level. Now if I can just go cold turkey on sugar. Must - be - strong!!

Like Laynie, I gave up alcohol last year, too. In March, actually, and I don't miss it. But I do enjoy smelling other people's wine when they order it. Very rich and aromatic (like a good cup of coffee is, which I also gave up).

I loved this - and know quite a few people for whom it would hold true!
