Will I ever drink wine again? -- 29.3.4.5 to 32

[marciella]

Hello everyone,

As I wrote in some older posts. I've been suffering from terrible migraines for a few years. Now, luckily and thanks to my medicines, they are much less frequent. But alcohol has become a terrible trigger. I am not a big drinker myself, but I love to go out and drink a few glasses with my friends and enjoy myself. And for the last few days, I've really missed drinking wine -- without worrying if I will experience cruciating pain after. So I asked I ching "will I be able to drink wine again freely?" Answer is 29.3.4.5 to 32.

My interpretaiton is ; 29.3 -- you are still in danger and not fully recovered. But you are in the way of healing. Don't expect big achievement just yet. Stay where you are and take small steps.

29.4 -- the line is ABOUT WINE! very I-ching like... I don't know how to take it but maybe, help (healing) will arrive in a simple way. just a glass of wine maybe. But it will present itself to you.

29.5-- that is where I am lost actually -- and it mentions wine again. Does this line mean that the wild water has settled, no overflows? Migraine can really feel like your head is overflowing actually... Or maybe it means beware of the danger, river can overflow if you are not careful?

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

"will I be able to drink wine again freely?" Answer is 29.3.4.5 to 32.

The Danger (migraine) will Continue...
L3: Delving deep (into drinking) is bad.
L4: having wine only with food seems ok.
L5: there is danger, but moderation is possible. (there is no direct mention of wine here, though that is our subject)

So, You may want to make a rule of *never without food*

Though, personally I discourage people away from alcohol at every opportunity,
being from a family, 4th generation barkeeps, and seeing first hand the devastation alcohol causes to many many people, including the villian in 36.6
(like the proud boys? they are a drinking club.)

With 32 as the context I would add that the situation is fixed. So yes you can have some wine but only with food.

Thank you so much for your answers. Drinking only with food is more than I can hope for right now so it is great news! It never occurred to me to interpret it like that.

moss elk, I completely agree with you, but as I never drink more than a couple of glasses in even in my craziest times, it is not likelyfor me to go overboard. Still, I have adopted a lot of healthier habits duringthe couple of years that I culdn't drink.

Hi Marciella,

I have found that hex 32 ‘Lasting’ means that the situation is fixed. By fixed I mean the context, your migraine, will not be going anywhere. But in the lines of hex 29 you get advice on how to deal with your migraines.

Hello;

I'd say yes you'll drink, of course in moderate levels.
