Well, I'm on my own for ten days! [View all]

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!
