Sorry to hear about this downswing in events...FWIW a couple of observations having read your thread.
GALing is about finding something that helps you, during it and following it, not just during it!
Its likely to have struck others too - your backslides and booze seem to be pretty strongly correlated
Being superdad in public is all very well but what is more important is the back-room stuff that helps you be that - becoming that dad you want to be for your boys.
Hope the rest of your w/e perks up!
Best - GFI
