Good Morning! You are right D. I have already decided that I am going to spend Friday eve after work in a book store with a latte in hand until the fiancé gets home. Few things in life do I love more than a good book, but since graduation and the new Job I haven't had time to do anything like that. I've spent my free time drunk or too hungover to read. New weekend, new hope!

Good Morning, Dear Friends.

I appreciate every post. Everyone has an understanding of what I am going through, and I feel such support in that premise.

It's day 4 and I feel even better. Of course it's the weekend I fear, but as each of you have said, channelling the cringe into productive inspiration not to drink is pivotal.

I still cringe, and the urge to cry still exists. In an odd way I feel the pain I've cause myself and others is a sort of retribution to the pain I've caused in order to party. Such a loss.

I think your plan for Friday sounds brilliant and I completely understand about missing out on reading. I set a reading target every year and in 2013 I hit 150 books, then 2014 was maybe 50. It sounds stupid but when I realised that I thought "wow, this might be a problem"!

You don't deserve to live in pain or unhappiness, onwards and upwards :-)
