I am of German descent, and in my opinion, we here in America are doing a huge disservice to our children by "protecting" them from alcohol. I was given small amounts of beer in my bottle as a baby. And as I grew I was never refused alcoholic beverages, they were limited, just as any responsible parent would with sodas.
Now the argument can be made on both sides about health advantages/disadvantages. But where I saw the biggest difference was in my late teens & early twenties when all my friends were out getting sloshed, alcohol really wasn't that big of a deal to me, because I had access to it and was taught moderation with it my entire life.

Congrats & well wishes!!!

Good Luck!!!!

Good luck today. Keep us posted when you feel up to it. See you on the losers bench.

Today it's my turn to start this journey my arrival at hospital is 11:00 today. Still a little apprehensive but I will say seeing the post on here have helped immensely. The fear of the unknown is still there, but it won't be unknown for long. Tomorrows my birthday I was trying to get it done then if nothing else the symbolism of being reborn! Have a great Monday!
