Post title pretty much explains it all. My weekends were all about getting trashed from the moment I left work Friday right until the evening on Sunday. I’ve been tapering off for a couple months now, but I’d still feel like I needed to go to the local dive that most of my drinking buddies go to.

This weekend I switched it up. I went to dinner Friday night in a new part of town, then checked out a concert. Then today I did some chores, cleaned my place, went for a long walk, and rested. My friends didn’t reach out today since I said I told them I didn’t want to hang out at the usual place as much anymore. It’s a little lonely but it felt great today not feeling like I wasted an afternoon getting drunk at the same place I’d get hammered at every week for as long as I could remember.
