I always noticed I didn’t process alcohol that well (it’s kind of a running joke in my family that I’m a frugal drinker. A sip of sparkly wine, and I’m drunk), but it’s still a challenge to give it up. If I didn’t have any problems, I would keep enjoying it…

Oh god, yes, the sugar…One thing at a time, I’m telling myself. Compared to sugar, alcohol is the easy thing to cut out.

You are very aware of your relationship with alcohol and the PCOS. “I know that not everyone will always comprehend the severity of those stakes for me” is a statement I need to memorize because now that I have stopped drinking people ask WHY?! and joke about not quitting for any reason. But like you said I know what’s at stake. Now if I can just stop eating anything that contains sugar. ugh.
Thanks for sharing and linking up.
