to share it with all of you and not be judged for my shortcomings.
Ah, a weekend warrior. As one myself I've found the best thing to do is to break your usual routine. There's something about your current situation that plays as a trigger. Maybe loneliness. Maybe boredom. I found my drinking always started after 10pm and usually only on the weekend. So instead I started getting my butt out of bed at 5:15am and going for a walk/run with my dogs. By 9:30 I'm so tired a beer sounds awful...well to be fair everything sounds awful other than just going to bed
On the shortcomings - alcoholism isn't a shortcoming any more than being susceptible to sunburns more than the guy next to you is. Just how you're built. Just how all of us here are built.
Keep up the good work!
