>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I have been fighting alcoholism hard and still haven't beaten it. Not asking for sympathy because I don't think I deserve much. Well, maybe I am. I know I am a good guy with lots of good things going for me, including two daughters who are way better than I deserve. I go to AA almost every day. I want to quit. Yet here I still am. It's mystifying.

I say myself "I'll begin diet tomorrow, not today. Today not a good day for diet". It's really really hard. I was 66kg before years ago. How happened that, I can' t believe in me... I'm sure alcohol is so harder.

Nice idea. Maybe I'll try that on a weekend. Of course, they'd probably charge you the higher dinner price. Or they might argue that since you're having lunch and dinner they should charge for both. It's probably a no win situation.
