I have the same work guilt, I'm at the office now, posting on SR! Ha. Which could be worse.
But that's guilt and work and life that can be taken care of ONLY if we stay sober.
The booze doesn't relax us Prof, you know that. It obliterates us. Relaxation can come from some hardcore workout, a bath, mediation, maybe a good movie where we forget troubles. Booze is the trouble.
