I hope everybody is enjoying the weekend. We are strong, we are sober
Great report, JCNY! You are on your way!!! I was in the same boat....I would count the hours I had to drink, count the time I had to sober up...count the hours I had until I needed to be semi-presentable for work. It was pathetic. I was barely functional.
There's so much to do when they're away. Buy a new piece of furniture and surprise them when they get back. Fix the walkway. Paint the gutters. Or buy records!!!!! Either way, it's all good as long as you're sober. Rock on, SoBro!
