MADE IT PAST DAY 5!!!!!!!!!YEAH

[Di]

Good morning everyone:

I didn't think I could do it - and I certainly didn't do it alone. It helped SO much to know days 4-5 AF would be the worst. Yesterday @ work I was about to leave early to drink, felt like I was going to implode!!! Thankfully, I posted my craving feelings and fear and got such supportive feedback. Thanks so much to all. I love it that I can check in here 24/7. I'd determined to make it through my first Friday night - usually my get plowed night!

Thanks to all and WELCOME to my fellow newbies. Hang in there.

Love to all.

Diana

Thanks much Beth & tkeene.

tkeene: Your dogs are gorgeous. We're looking to add to our brood, maybe that's what BF and I will do this weekend - and, I'll even be able to awake and garden without feeling like crap.

THANKS!!!

I'm right there with ya Di! Friday nights were THE night. (even though I was drinking most other nights also) But Friday night it was ok to cut loose! I didn't drink last Friday, but only because I was hungover from drinking all afternon Thursday after my friends funeral. I haven't committed to being AF for a certain amount of time. When I do that I seem to obscess. If I just keep busy, maybe I'll forget what day of the week it is. Won't it feel great to wake up without feeling like shit on the weekend? Thanks for sharing.:thanks:

Di, wtg!!! You are very strong. Stronger than you know. But you will soon prove it yourself.

As already stated, you are going to feel amazing Monday morning. You will get things done this weekend that you would not do drinking. I don't mean using your weekend to get caught up on housework, either. (Unless, that's what you really want to do). I'm talking about doing anything. Going out shopping, off to movie, going to lunch with (sober) friends. Or make it breakfast and hopefully no one will be drinking at that hour. Do stuff you would not do if you had to stay home and nurse a hangover. Stay busy.

Life is out there waiting for the new Di!!! Go live it!

Love, Me

Awesome job Di! WTG!

Set the table for your time this weekend. Weekends for me were especially difficult since your schedule tends to be different and it's AL's favorite time to mess with you. Stay focused and stay connected with your support here on the forum. We are here whenever you need someone. :goodjob:
