Confession: 6 years in and I still have a tough time with weekends. [View all]

I've been sober for the whole time. But on weekend evenings, I get an urge to drink. It's not every weekend, but sometimes it's pretty strong. I can fend it off and there are occasions when I head up to bed right after dinner--to watch some comforting tv and later I treat myself to a bowl of ice cream.
