Let me start out by saying, its Day 24 and I....AM....STILL....SOBER! This is the longest in over three years! I am mostly doing well. I have had my moments of pity party. Last night was one. Fridays are just hard. I loved Fridays because the after work happy hour(s) were not unusual in most people's worlds. I could say out loud in the office, "Whew what a week, I need a glass of wine." Of course everyone commiserated and agreed. It was a festive feeling. The fact of the matter is though, I always drank too much on Friday nights. It was freedom zone, no work tomorrow, and I would drink too much and feel like crap on Saturday morning. The pattern was always the same, feel like crap on Saturday, and fairly depressed all day. I would eat junk food because I already felt like crap, and there was nothing so good as a greasy burger and fries to make myself feel better.
Saturday night was usually a slower drinking night. Notice I didn't say a non-drinking night. Sunday would start out feeling okay, and by Sunday afternoon I was in a full on depression. Had to have wine with dinner, wine after dinner, and Granny before bed. My worst hangovers were on Mondays. I am thankful that I don't have to do that anymore. Weekends are about the days and not the nights so I try to do things I haven't done in a while because I was either hung over, too tired, too depressed or too lazy. It is amazing how lazy I am when I'm drinking.
So, lets end with a positive. I am at work this morning, doing a few things that need to be done, and then I'm off the rest of the weekend and I plan to have fun. I am going to see American Sniper today, and I am going to have fun tomorrow.
Happy Weekend!
