1 Down - 1 to Go.

I made it through Christmas, but it wasn't easy. New Year's Eve is going to be a total nightmare, I can tell already. I may take the day off of work, as I don't think I'll be able to focus on my job. I watched an old episode of "Intervention" and found someone who has almost the same situation/experiences as I do - minus the bodybuilding. The episode (67) description is this:

"He was once a championship bodybuilder and successful property owner. But when he turned 30, Derek felt he was over the hill and became severely depressed. He started drinking to cope with the pressures of marriage and the responsibilities of getting older. His beautiful wife left, and now Derek's days are all the same--he sits in his dark basement, smoking and drinking and bemoaning the loss of his wife. He narrowly survived one suicide attempt and his family is worried he'll try again. An intervention is their last hope."

It's eerie, almost scary - the similarities. Like I said everything **but** the serious bodybuilding, but I do work out though. At least I get to go back to work today. Yesterday seemed to take years to get past. And I have New Year's Eve will be 1,000 times longer and a million times more painful than yesterday.
