This one kind of made me laugh. I had my harp lesson on Sat., and was playing through the left hand part of a piece. I have a problem with a slight tremor in my hands as a result of meds, and it's worse in the left hand, but it's really not bad. But my teacher commented, "Your hand tremors have gotten a lot better in the last little while, did you change your meds?" I said, No but remember I was drinking before. I used to go to 8 am harp lessons, and be in withdrawal and my hands would really shake - not good for playing the harp.

So another benefit of not drinking - better harp playing and neater hand writing.

You're right about that! My hand do shake not due to meds, so it does look like I'm in withdrawal, and it makes me mad cause I did have a nice looking handwriting. Now it looks like a 90 yr old woman's.
But I can think of all kinds of pluses for not drinking, but I think we all know about them.

Hi Splitimage, thats really neat that you play the harp. My hands dont shake anymore and I dont have real dark circles under my eyes anymore. I was off work for about 3 months and just went back, I look ten years younger, yeah
I can remember when my hands did shake, I tried to hide it, when I was drinking.
