Non-Alcoholic Wine: Tamar Medford's Honest Experience
For me, it brought up that experience of what I used to be like. You know, you hear it being said sometimes if you go to-step meetings, that your addiction is doing pushups in the parking lot. I didn't want to drink a whole bottle of wine in a day, you know. So if you're new in recovery- and I would challenge you to wait before you try this- you know, like I said, I'm neither for nor against it.
