The journey is the goal. As long as you're fighting the good fight and you're not giving up on giving up, you're winning. It's not about how often you get knocked down, it's about how often you get up again. Sobriety the goal for sure. But striving to get to that goal is what it's about. Not getting there. Because the journey never ends. The journey is the goal. -

Any newbies in the States facing the long Memorial Weekend with the beer soaked picnics, beach outings, and an extra day of free time on your hands? If so, what's your plan?
I'm stocking up on alternate bevs (really like soda water and juice combos right now), trying to set up lots of family outings, and will have my L-Glut emergency dose close at hand. I've also let anyone close to me know I'm serious about an AF weekend and I look forward to doing things I wouldn't have done drunk. Here's hoping..."I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten"

I think Mama Bear and OverIt will agree with me that it isn't easy in this Florida climate! I'm going to concentrate on not have too much unplanned down time, eating really well and making sure there are plenty of other liquid options available. I am even thinking of buying some non-alc beer just in case I get into a pinch!SoFlo1;869157 wrote: Any newbies in the States facing the long Memorial Weekend with the beer soaked picnics, beach outings, and an extra day of free time on your hands?

Hey folks - I got it covered this time. Watching my nieces & nephew. And I'm working all 3 days. That's one way to keep out of trouble. I know I won't drink when the kids are there.

I have an idea. Let's not think in terms of a three day holiday weekend. Let's just think about it each day, one at a time. Then we don't have to stress about how to get over the whole thing! Just one day, each by each.Comment

Good idea! I will be with my husband and in-laws, who don't drink very much. Then, my mother-in-law is coming over to help me with chores, etc for a couple of days next week, and my husband will be on a business trip. She is very helpful but sort of controlling, so I know it will be stressful. A high risk day for me will probably be next Thursday after everybody goes home! Maybe I can find a drop-in yoga class or something to look forward to that's relaxing in a healthy way.Comment

Hi
Ive been reading lots on here for about 6 weeks and had 5 weeks AF under my belt then started again. I know I can do it. Ive got to this time. Just feel a bit tired today and emotional ! I think I just need a bit of support as cant really talk to anyone apart from my husband. Im 36 and would say Im a binge drinker and I hate it. I black out and its like Im a different person
I feel so guilty and ashamed. But positve at the same time that this is my time to stop for good.
