The depression dissipates with time and distance from all the stuff you want to leave behind. When you first walk away from a mountain all you can see behind you is the mountain. All you can see in front of you is its shadow, but once you get away from it the mountain becomes part of the broader landscape. You can do this.

There's nothing so bad that a drink can't make it worse.

It's coming along ok so far. The weekends is when I get my itch... keeping busy! Thank you for checking up!

I think day 2, though so far so good. The weekends are triggers. So, I'm gonna try and stay busy. Thanks for checking up!

The weekends were triggers for me too. Something about that lack of structure that is typical of the weekday makes it that much tougher to stay on the path. Would it be helpful to come up with a plan for the weekend?

Yea, it's a busy weekend. Today especially, if I can get through today I'll be fine for the next few days. As long as I am busy! When I was in the military, the weekends were playtime and the habit has been difficult to break. Despite it being nearly 8 years ago it needs to be broken.
