Welcome. Have you checked out the 'toolbox' thread? It's in 'monthly abstinence' section, and has some very useful, constructive tip's and info on staying off the grog in the early stages. Keeping yourself busy, is an obvious one. I'm presuming you have a daytime occupation through the week? If so, keep busy through sat/sun, then you only have to deal with the evenings, just as you do through the week. Of course, it's 'party time' for many, on w/kends. I wasn't a binge drinker, but an everyday/night/24/7 one, so i can only speak here generally, but the only way i could resist temptation, especially on w/kends when all where into it, was to stay away from pub's, parties, and al environments. I had to do this for a good couple/few months, before i was strong enough in my mind to not be tempted/frustrated, and or anxious socialising. If you are not around people or social situations where you'll be tempted, try to get distracted. Do whatever it takes. Read, movies, exercise, take a trip to the city to fill in some time, library. This is what helped me. Distract yourself with some inspiring movies, stories, people. Get some positive af stories into you. Work on changing your thinking around the weekend, and grog. They don't have to go hand in hand. (P.S. If you are in Oz, stick your head in to 'The next day thread' sometime if that'll help. All good folk there.)
Best wishes.............G.
