The deal around here is Mrs. Dragon does the cooking and I do the washing up. I rely heavely on our dishwasher tho pots, pans, and and certain items do no go in it. I find it tough somedays beacause all I want to do after work is relax. Its nice to eat right away but I'd rather go and do something fun after. I find the best way to tackle it is to simply pull up your sleeves and tackle it. It really doesn't take that long to do but my mind is tellling me is hard and will take all night!

I think you inserted the url between the "r" and the closing parenthesis.

And let me clarify - yesterday was simply a difficult day emotionally, not because I wanted to drink or numb or anything else. No urges, No thoughts, no cravings of a drink. Just emotionally difficult. But I am facing it as best I can. Good day, all!

I thought I would be in AV hell by now.....shocked to actually find this weekend bearable. I have resolved that no matter how miserable I feel I will not drink. And somehow in making this resolution, I am less miserable!
Hope all the weekenders are safe and well.

Welcome to Weekenders dafunbra!
Congratulations on beating the AV DarklimgSong.. For me, I was not strong enough to resist the cravings in early recovery, I had to find a way to reduce them. To cut a long story short I would get up before dawn and jog. Add a days work and everything else and I would fall into bed at 9pm - just when the cravings would normally be at their worst. Physically it is a real pain but I couldn't get my mind in the right place by positive thinking alone.

Dragon, your son must be a really bright young man to even begin to understand that.
Of course the Weekenders will have all spotted the glaring error in the enuminatorive combinatorics - no Lambda constant!

My weekend is off to a strange start.
Yesterday evening after work I was going into the convenience store to buy the newspaper and a candy bar, and a woman approached me begging me to buy her alcohol, presenting me money. Well, I don't buy alcohol there anymore, and I was saddened by how desperate she was to find somebody to help her get another drink. When I left she was gone.
This morning my mother called me to pick her and my father up from the emergency room. My dad has been having minor seizures and was going through a rougher one last night. Apparently they had been there since the earliest hours of the morning, but I didn't know. He's okay, but they sent him away with a diagnosis of cold and tremors. He's just an old guy to them, but to me he's my father, and I wasn't pleased that they discharged him as another pitiful case of aging old man.
I hope the rest of the next 12 days go a bit smoother.

Lol Saou. I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice!
Love this video, my pup always hangs with me when I'm practicing...

I have to accept that all the evidence confirms that I am at the end of road with alcohol. Only pain lies there for me now.
