Week-end Worries

I identify with that - I was af for 28 days and then started drinking again.
i can honestly say i have a better time sober - I'm sharper, wittier and don't repeat myself.
I have a huge hangover today and feel/look like shit and know i will achieve bugger all today and waste my saturday.
maybe focusing on the day after will help?

Booze doesn't really make peope,evenings more fun - we tend to drink on fun occasions.
You can do it first weekend is weird but tell yourself it's just for today if it helps.
hope it goes well xx

Good luck melanie,
as has been said, the first few weekends AF is weird for a drinker. It's like learning how to be.......
I haven't quite got the hang of it myself yet.

Does that make sense?

Week-end Worries

Try going out on an adventure alone to do something you enjoy. Maybe a hike. Shopping. Get away & reminisce on happy memories. Designate a time that you would normal use for drinking & partying with friends. Do the opposite of being social & drinking with friends. Being alone occassionally will direct you to a new understanding. If anyone else has any other ideas...throw them out there. Thank you all.
