Still struggling on weekends. But still staying clean!

Used to love drinking while cooking dinner. There are times on Saturday and Sunday afternoons where I look at my watch and say to myself, "Huh, just 6 more hours and I can go to bed!" Sometimes I head up early and read, then reward myself with a movie and a bowl of ice cream. It is getting easier for the most part, but some weekends are rougher than others.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I read this recently, maybe it will help:

"Imagine if you never gave up on yourself.

Now: Imagine yourself in six months if you start tomorrow."

For you, let's change the second line to: Now: imagine yourself in six months if you already started (when you started.)
