Most Mondays include a guilty dialogue with myself about trying to at least take Monday to Thursday off but I always cave and any effort at temperance goes out the window. "The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it." Throughout my life I've experienced sobriety with varying degrees of success. From the Mondays to Thursdays, to three months here, two weeks there and one stretch of almost four years but always feeling like a fish out of water.
The reason I'm posting this now is that it's a Tuesday after another long weekend where I overdid it pretty good (you never know what is enough 'til you know what's more than enough). I felt like dogshit this morning and had my standard Monday dialogue-- only this time it's on Tuesday.
So here I sit typing this with a cranberry and soda, sans vodka-- let's see if I can make it to Friday-- or through Tuesday...

You know Tyler's wife has something called the Johnny shift. As long as you leave the bar the same time as Johnny, that's good for me. Power is nuthin' within control brotha!
Maybe I should have a weekend like yours starting Thursday; karaoke night....for no particular reason.
(kind of bummed. people. they just suck.)
and to have a final fling since summer ends for me this weekend. Back to work on Monday.
Blah.

You don't always need a reason but you wind up feeling like crap... sometimes.
Bren, I always try to remember what Seinfeld said, "People? They're the worst."
How long were you off?
We usually always have June and July off, but have headed back to work sometimes as soon as the 1st week of August... and once in a great while, have had to work into the first day or two of June...NOT 3 whole months like most people think!
I wish...!
