    NEW THREAD FOR THOSE ON THE FIRST FEW DAYS A/F

    Here Comes the Weekend .. Yikes!

    I will handle my first sober weekend with these thoughts:

    I don't drink alcohol. Period. It tastes like crap, tires me out, dulls my senses, gives me insomnia, makes me suffer the next day, puts on weight and pulls me down emotionally.

    This weekend I will be the life of the party but dead sober. I love to laugh and have fun and do so during the day often without the 'help' of alcohol.

    I will not look at not drinking as deprivation. It is the complete opposite. It's liberation.

    As a group, I like to speak for all of us when I say " we are free from the addiction of alcohol... the cravings will try to convince us otherwise but we will bully them right back where they came from; our self-destructive ego. We will hush those voices and replace them with self-affirming voices reassuring us that we have made a once in a lifetime pivotal change that will actually alter the course of our lives and send it in the direction we have always dreamed of going; the land of serenity, conscious living, pride, alertness and physical health."

    This weekend is the first of all my sober ones. That's something to celebrate!!

    I do this for my children, my grandchildren, my health, my peace of mind, and mostly for the opportunity to learn to live with my true, unfiltered, clear-headed, vulnerable self.

                  I wish you luck and strenghth Tip, I know how hard it is at weekends, but Iam determined not to drink. It is my grandsons 2nd birthday on sunday so we are going to his party which is a 20 mile drive so no chance of drinking, also promised myself not to let my grand kids see me drinking, and of course I would never have just one drink. Good luck to everyone who is struggling.

                      Hey all - still hanging on here too. To be honest, I still have antabuse in my system. But, I made sure to take another pill today instead of skipping it.
                      Keep hanging in there everyone. We're going to do this!!!:goodjob:

                                It's more like winter here, rain and gail force winds, if I wanted to drink, which fortunately I don't have any cravings at the moment, I wouldn't want to go outside to buy some. I don't keep booze in the house any more too tempting, and I don't keep any money, I'm less likely to go buy drink on my cash card, just one of the many things I do to avoid getting my hands on booze. Good luck Cedars.My birthday's january 5.
