I think if you are going to quit drinking, Friday and Tuesday need to have locked-down solid plans that keep you busy doing something other than the old routines.
I changed everything. New people, new activities, maybe try some of those great local AA meetings on Fri and Tues afternoon/evening. There has to be some plan. A cooking class, a guitar class, a softball league or bowling team, volunteering on those nights. Change the view.
Yes. Fridays and Tuesdays are horrible and I will try to chalk up a plan. Here is what happened - I got promoted with a great pay hike and 20K promo bonus.
Yesterday there was a promotion party and I had to go at First and Bell. I just stopped with 1 beer since I had to drive back home 20 miles. Just near my house, I decided that I should 'really' celebrate. Went to a local pub and had 2 pints of strong ale, watched a movie again at home with 1 more pint and slept off. Since I had no internet, I could not even ask for support here.
