Day 8 Visiting Mom sober

I try to spend Friday evenings at my mother's house and spend the night as her house is closer than mine to work and I go into work most Satudays.
My usual routine the past several months was to pick up a pint of liquor and drink it on the way to her house.  Then talk to her for a few minutes and then go back and pass out in bed.
Tonight will be differrent.  I am looking forward to having a nice long conversation and a pleasant dinner with her.  She is elderly and I may not have that many Friday nights with her.
I am really looking forward to sitting on her front porch talking about family and friends and remembering the conversation on Saturday morning.
