I think the big thing is that I can have fun by myself. And during The First Several Months Of This Year my wife works as a tax preparer and so she was typically working on Monday evenings, and so it was very easy for me to say: I'm going to go to music, and then April 15th rolls around and she's not working on taxes anymore, and so The First Monday After April 15th I'm kind of like.
Have you ever wondered if fun can coexist with sobriety? Spencer and Brooke tackle this very question in Episode 113 of The Recovery Show.
