Related: About this forumWell, I'm on my own for ten days!
My wife is out of town until next Thursday. In years past, it was an excuse to drink even more than I usually did. But I'm six years sober and not really tempted at all. I remember loading all the empties into a bag the day before she'd come home and take them to a trash can behind the grocer store--getting rid of all the evidence. Kinda pathetic, now that I think back on it.
Now I'll just eat a bunch of junk food and watch a bunch of movies!

Junk food is so much better for you than alcohol.

24 hours at a time is all we ever have to do. Kinda simple, really.

My wife's coming home this afternoon. I avoided booze the entire 10 days. No problem.
