Glass of Wine
I know I am over reacting, but I went out to dinner last night to celebrate my last riba pill and the end of treatment and had one glass of wine over the course of dinner. Do you think this will impact treatment success? At this point I am so worried it didn't work it is all that is on my mind. mar
sorry, and you are right it probably is essesive....but one celebration leads to another...
with many of my friends and family, so I'm being a little presumptous here OK, and saying, or rather reading into this that if you are washing down your last Riba pill with some booze that you may just like yur wine, and that may not be the end of it.
I can only help if I try to percieve what is really going on, and why you asked the question in the first place. Did you need help? Did you want assurance, or did you want someone to help you think through what you may be thinking of doing, but left unsaid?
so speaking as a mom would to her son who has it...why go there.
speaking as a forum member who has read countless stories of people relasping and knowing the heartbreak of that bad news personally////, as well as what a lot of work, the torment of treatment and getting through it is....it just seems like now is the time to take excellent care of yourself......
because it hurts me everytime another member comes in here and has to give news that they relasped. and I do not want to see you join that group...
.or be second guessing how it might have been different had you not returned to former habits of consumption.
Like some said, one glass is not the universe, but were that to become something you indulged again, then you really would be kicking yourself to the curb if you did relaspe saying "what if I hadn't been doing that".......and do you want that?
So, no, I guess I'll withhold my pat on the head in the hope of having gotten your attention. Take care of yourself. MaryB

My father is a doc and he has always said to me, their aint no such things as poison only poisonous mass, so relax its a okey with that one glas of wine. Good luck with svr
Marl - congrats on finishing. I wouldn't give the wine a second thought. Just ignore the partonizing "Mommy" stuff.
Bill - I agree re the distasteful conduct, climbing on soapbox to push one's personal agenda. I add my apologies to yours.

one glass of wine wouldn't hurt anybody...it's only routine drinking with HCV and/or treatment that I'd worry about....just my take, anyone is free to disagree!
One glass of wine is nothing to be worried about. I would do the same if I made it that far and congrats to you!!. I will not type anything about wine and the liver because we all know the story, but one glass of wine is not even an issue in my opinion. I hope you can just relax and wait to see how you did on treatment and I wish you the best!!
The only time I would be concerned with one..1...glass of wine is if you had major major issues with drinking.. and I dont believe you do and you said you will not drink until SVR so i dont see any issues and risks that you will now "Indulge".
And I cant even begin to explain the anger i have for someone calling you "dumb" for something. I really dont see the help that does at all. If you think someone made a mistake give your point of view and such, but I do not see a reason to be negative and call someone dumb in a health blog. How can you say your not trying to be mean when you come across very negative and are going to most likely upset someone who needs help with an issue???? In my humble opinion you are the dumb one for using such language.

I've only been watching this forum for several months, and I have to agree with a point made by merryB. Quite a few folks come on here with questions about alcohol. Often times it's easy to read between the lines and see that they just want "permission" to drink from someone else. Sometimes it's not. Soapbox? ...no. Opinion? .. yes. And that's all this forum is. opinions. Her's seems well intentioned at least.
My opinion?.....no, that glass of wine won't hurt you. Would I have done it? maybe. Would I want someone I care about to drink it? NO.
anyway... best of luck with SVR! that is what we all wish for you.
