I've been soloing for this past week [View all]
My wife has been out of town. Just a few years ago, this would be the perfect excuse to get really hammered every night. And for the first couple years, when I was on my own, I was really tempted to sneak a few drinks, knowing I wouldn't get caught. But I'd know I cheated. This time I haven't had any urges at all! The only thing I do differently is I went to the pastry shop and bought some really nice treats. Hey, I deserve it!
She comes home tomorrow and it's nice to know I don't have to load all my empties and take them to the shopping center and toss them in the garbage can there. Being a sneak always made me feel guilty.
