have to admit. I dont like holidays much anymore

I just dont even want to go down to our neighborhood pool today or even tommorow. I am an alcoholic.  I dont drink in moderate amounts.   Its a cookout and all day affair. There is coolers of beer provided and I just dont want to be around.  My wife is drinking her chardonnay every day when I get home from work and it gets to be a real trigger to see and smell it when i kiss her in the kitchen.  


I know that I cant drink but it is easier if im not around it.  Thing is, life is full of booze at every turn.  Just gets to me on holidays.  I tend to focus on the fact I cant so much,  that I dont even enjoy the break from work. 


Also the fireworks are too much for my ears and I just really want to fast forward past this independance day.

Well went down to the pool and sat with the wife and watched the kids play. Will go down again tommorow and eat the paid for hamburgers and dogs and drink the paid for coke. will try to not focus on what im not doing and focus on what i am doing. Its just lots of booze and i guess resentments of ppl that can still drink. Oh well at least i see it , beats getting sloshed and feeling worse the 5th. Just not worth it today.

Quality family time and making memories with my daughter - and remembering what we did gets me through our bank holidays.
I'm sure your kids loved having their Dad watch them play today - that is what you want them to remember and they will for years to come and because you've done it with your kids they will do it with theirs and so on. That beats getting sloshed having hangover and spewing every time!
Tomorrow those people that can drink and have drank today to celebrate your holiday will wish they were you tomorrow when they wake up!
Much love xxx

Ask Higher Power to help you look at it differently. That's what I do and it works every time!

    check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
