Happy Saturday, weekenders!
Last Friday I left work, bought a fifth of vodka, drank maybe 2/3 of it in the course of the evening and tossed the rest of the bottle out. Come Saturday I got up early, did some housework, and as soon as the liquor store opened I was back there buying another. Drank on and off through the day and almost finished it by late Saturday night. In the wee hours of Sunday morning I poured the rest down the sink and decided to get through Sunday sober.
After being sober all week and feeling great I almost convinced myself on the way home from work Friday that I needed to do that again - that avoiding it was depriving myself of a "fun" weekend. Solitary binging and napping all day, yeah, fun. Scary to see how close I came to believing that insanity.
Anyway, I'm planning to actually enjoy my life today!
Best wishes, all
