Anyone else have trouble with weekends?

On Friday and Saturday evenings, I still get an urge to drink. It varies from week to week and I've always gotten through them. Anyone else have this problem too?

When we drink we break out in handcuffs.

Always my favorite line at a meeting.

Just keep the phone handy and make the call or calls

but I have trouble with weekdays between 9 and 5 since I have to work. I am ready to retire. I can’t drink due to health issues.
