Thank God It's Monday! I've been sober for around 7 1/2 years. But weekends can still be a little tough sometimes. I look back somewhat fondly to my drinking days and think how I used to amp up my consumption on weekends. My wife drinks and I sometimes retreat to my bedroom early and watch tv on weekends.
But I love Mondays now because I made it through the weekend sober. Plus I do my first draft of my weekly movie reviews on Monday mornings. Positive vibes all around.
Anyway, thanks for listening to my little rant.
