    The Weekend Thread for Binge Drinkers.

    Welcome Rollerball, sounds like you have a lot to gain by getting sober. I hope you stick around - you kicked the smack and I'm told that one is really hard to do...so you know you can do it.
    Ezz, great idea...weekends are my trigger times too.

      The Weekend Thread for Binge Drinkers.

      This is perfect, I was wondering last night where the heck I would go when the weekend came, or maybe better said when the weakness came. Like most here weekends are tough for me, although I don't remember many in the last couple of years.

      I have great news though, my supplements arrived today from MWO and I've sorted them into a new med dividing box and ready to go. The problem I have though is I haven't found in the MWO book a recommendation for using L-Glutamine. If anyone has suggestions they will be more than welcome.

      I'm proud of each and every one of you.

        I really want to be here, I really want to be here, Its ok I havent gone mad I am just talking myself into this. I really want to go the whole weekend sober but I think it is going to be really hard, I am already on Day 5 A/F HORRAY and I feel so proud of myself and I am just keeping hold of this feeling so that I done cave in!!
        COME ON lets all do it together, if we stick with each other we can all succeed!!!
        At the moment I am taking baby steps hour by hour actually as Friday nights is a huge trigger but I am going to keep busy (hopefully)
        Thinking of you all

          You can do it Ronnie.

          Friday now and I hope that everyone is feeling strong and has a plan to avoid drinking this weekend. I will be around most of the weekend if anyone needs support or has a weak moment.

          Good luck everyone.

              KEEP GOING

              HI ronnie and all on this thread. very very well done ronnie, on day 5. keep doing all that you have been doing over the last few days, it works for you so don't change it. you can still cut the day down by 1 hour or even to mins at a time. Friday, Saturday and Sunday are still only 24 hours long. I found that if I had a Mars bar or something sweet to eat, or drank a fizzy drink without alcohol this helped with the cravings. Alcohol is full of sugar, so your body craves sugar but your head tells you that you need a drink. Is 1 drink worth losing all that you have worked for over the last few days. Think how you will feel on day 6 or even on Monday. Stay positive, think good thoughts. with you all the way I know you can do this. love and good luck to you all x

                  Hi ronnie, I can only tell you what I did and what helped me. I do know how you are feeling and what it's like to come of the drink. I have been through what you are going through now, and I know it's not easy, but my god it's worth it. I almost lost my Husband and kids through the drink, please don't let that happen to you. I used to think that every thing was their fault, but now that I am sober I know that it was'nt and I only used them as an excuse to take a drink. I have a great life now and I know that you can have a great life to, The cravings that you have are only a feeling and you do not have to act on them, the feeling will pass quite quickly, they may return but if you eat or drink something sweet they will go away, and in time they will not come at all. I live in the UK so the time difference makes it hard to keep in constant touch with you, but keep in touch with this site and I will check in with you as and when I can thinking of you love x

                    Hello

                    Hi everyone

                    :new:

                    I've been lurking for a few weeks but this is my first post. I hope you don't mind me introducing myself here and joining your thread.

                    Weekends are a really difficult time for me too. It's so tempting to 'reward' myself for working hard all week and celebrate the opportunity to relax with that lovely glass of wine with lunch...that turns into a few more during the afternoon .. and all of a sudden the sun has gone down and so have the contents of my wine rack.

                    I'm in Australia so hopefully I won't be too out of synch with the rest of you.

                    Hope you all have a happy, successful weekend!

                          Great post one2many, thanks. I need to keep reminding myself that it is just a feeling and it will pass, sometimes the craving nags me all afternoon and night until I feel that I have to cave.

                            Oh good one Oney -- that is such a powerful post.

                            Be strong everyone - you can do it:-)

                              I almost gave up again until I read this thread!

                              This thread idea is a great one -- it speaks directly to me and I needed that! I too am a weekend binger and came on here to make a post about the topa meds I just started from River -- they really make me feel like crap and I'd rather do the AF journey without feeling like that. I feel so much better and stronger reading the inspirational posts on this thread -- is it possible to do it this way? I realize support is where it's at and this is where I need to be!
                              :thanks:

                                Oney, thank you for all the information. Truly valuable and very powerful.

                                I hope everyone has a great weekend and I hope to see you all here. I will check in late tomorrow or Sunday as I am visiting with my grandson all day tomorrow. I can guarantee you I won't be drinking all day!

                                Here's to the weekend and best wishes to everyone!
