friday is my weak night

[starfairy]

tonight is the night i wait for all week. time to start my heavy binge for the weekend, but instead I am on my 6th day with NO ALCOHOL!! to busy myself i went out to an early movie (the help) all by myself and cried my eyes out. then came home and walked the dog with the family...now it is time for dinner and early to bed for a morning hike. i have felt great today and yesterday. i know i will make it through this weekend but i hope i don't start feeling so good that i decide to drink again. i found out today that a parent at our school who i completely admire (he is a professor and published author. i am an avid reader) quit the drink many may years ago. it made me feel more and more connected to him and what i strive to be like. my husband did offer me a beer tonight and when i said "no thanks" i don't think he was thrilled and said "well, just don't get wasted" He knows it does not work that way with me but i know he will miss our friday night fun. the problem is he just gets buzzed but i get wasted then i wake up Satuday and sunday and drink all day as well. i know he wants to be supportive but feels torn. he says now that i am not drinking it is like i have ADD with all the things i am planning to do. wow this turned out to be a long post. I WISH EVERYONE A SOBER NIGHT AND HOPE THAT IT CONTINES INTO YOUR WEEKEND!

Star, just sent you a PM and now saw your post. It really is an adjustment for our spouses. My husband has always been my drinking buddy, so I've had to really talk to him about all of this. It's taken him some time, but now he's really supportive. I had 30 days AF, tried to drink again, and got back into a rut. Now that he's been through all the ups and downs with me, he's finally getting it. It does take time, though. It's a big big change for them too.

Anyway, wishing you luck. AF really is so much better!

Good for you Star! I think many of us would have been "identified" as ADD as children or OCD or whatever the new flavour of diagnosis is. Sounds like new definitions of relationship are in order for you too. Again, well done!

Well done. I will join you in not drinking tonight. I have to get my textbooks for college tomorrow and it would suck if I have a hangover, so I just won't drink.

Star, This is a tough night of the week for me too. Luckily, My L-glut arrived so I took that and it helped get me through. Long ago, my drinking used to be exclusively on Friday nights, but in the past few years, Friday became Thursday, then Wednesday. After all, the weekend is flexible, right? then I used to drink all through at least Saturday, and sometimes Sunday too.

Sheesh, I don't miss that and I am not even two weeks sober yet!
