Well that was a rough weekend! TGIM! [View all]

I've been sober for 3 1/2 years, but weekends can be tough. This past weekend I kept thinking how enjoyable it would be to have a few drinks all three nights. O got through it mainly by distracting my self. Went up to bed early with a bowl of ice cream and watch some tv. These days, the early part of the week is my favorite time. I really hate weekends!

Onward and upward! Thanks for listening to my griping!
