I hate to moan, but one thing I really miss is alcohol!

I do the EVOO, fish oil, healthy diet thing but I really miss having a glass of wine--In fact, I do have some but feel incredibly guilty!! Wine is the only alcohol that I consume and before diagnosis, I usually drank Fri, Sat and Sun.

How many of you have given up alcohol completely and those who have not, how much do you consume in a week and how much do you feel it increases chances of a recurrence?

Cheers, Nancy
