Weekends continue to be a struggle.

I keep thinking how nice it was to have a couple beers while cooking dinner. Then a glass or two of wine. Then I think about how much time I wasted every evening and I come back to reality. I'm pretty good during the week. But weekends are tough sometimes. I think about how Canadians like to joke about folks from Toronto who love to work so much, they have a phrase: "Thank God it's Monday." That's how I feel a lot of the time! I actually look forward to Mondays!

1. Find a website that is addictive in some way. Load up on books. Take a long bubble bath.

offer to walk other people's dogs. Listen to music. Sign up for Netflix and Hulu and Amazon and bingewatch shows. Plant a garden. Learn how to knit. Do genealogy online. Good luck. I've been quit 7 years and i don't crave at all. I hardly think of booze anymore.

if you play with others and put your cards on other's piles. Online solitare is just not exciting enough after that. I did play hearts for a bit. I'm assuming you play alone? Or do you play with others online? That would be interesting. All those rainy days at the cottage have turned me into a card shark i'm afraid. Played too much. Now tetris i like. Or trivia. Candy Crush i liked but it got too addictive.

5. You are not alone...The solitaire installed at Windows does it for me.

8. I've played that back when it came with every version of windows. A great way

to take a break at work especially if you want to try and quit smoking on your breaks.

7. Yes, some days are a difficult struggle. We must keep on plugging.

And we must stick together. I was thinking the exact same thoughts as you have 2 days ago. (about having a drink).. We are in this together. I have been going to meetings for over 40 years. I have heard many stories and accomplishments..................all kinds....
..One of the things that I have discovered through my struggles is, "If it were easy, it would be easy

............................And...It ain't easy............ We got to hang in there..One Day at a Time..

...........................And thank you for sharing with us..I needed to read your post today..Thank You again..

9. Just remember...

It's never a couple of drinks and it never stops with cooking dinner.
