fromadistance, I'm an afternoon drinker as well, with my job I'm usually done by 2:30 or 3 and the first thing I do when I get home is crack a beer.... smart leaving your money at home to avoid temptation. I'm off work right now due to an injury and it's a blessing in disguise because I can use the time to dry out without an repercussions at work. Hopefully when I go back in a few weeks I'll have some sobriety under my belt but I think I'll still use your method and only bring enough money with me for lunch.... Nothing wrong with a good cry, cleansing for the soul
