Hi all

Checking in as promised. So far, so good!

I kept busy and out of the house for most of the day (I gave my wallet a bit of a workout, but I guess that's better than my liver) and now I've passed most of the danger zones! In an hour it will be the time I normally come home from work, and I can usually manage moderating from then on.

PS - Just realised I'd better check - Is it OK for me to join this thread if I'm trying to mod or is it just for those who want to be AF?

Hi there all in OZ and NZ. May your Saturday evening be AF.

Glass, of course you are welcome here, whether your aim is abstinance or moderation. We are all fighting a battle and need some support.

Ronnie, well done, keep strong!

Wishing I was 'down under' with you guys, the weather here sucks!

The Weekend Thread for Binge Drinkers.

HI ALL

Hi all, and well done for getting this far.
If you think about it, these 2 days of the weekend are the busiest of the week, we normally have hubby and the kids home claiming our attention all day. Give them your attention, it will stop you from thinking about yourself. Don't use these 2 days to give yourself a reward for being A/F all week. If you want a reward, treat yourself to some chocolates, flowers, perfume or do something that you really like doing, anything so long as it does not involve Alcohol.
ronnie, if your hubby does not won't to go out tonight, why don't you and the kids go anyway. your hubby would get some peace, the kids would enjoy themselves and you would be safe as you would have to do the driving.
Keep busy everyone, it's better to feel very tired at the end of the day, instead of very drunk. Good luke to you all and let us know how you get on. love x

Everyone seems to be doing so well. Of course you are welcome Glass, this is for everyone that struggles with the weekends.

Late afternoon here and about to make dinner soon. Not an urge in sight, thankfully. I am off to check the drink tracker to see what day I am on but this is my second weekend AF in a row.

Blue Sky, that is exactly what we have been having here everyday this year. Please send some rain our way and I will try to send the sun.

Thanks Ezzmae

Macca - so sorry to hear about your concussion - that's awful!

6.30 pm here and I'm feeling quite proud of myself so far and looking forward to waking up with a clear head tomorrow.

Sunday is always my hardest day, because the whole day seems to be full of things that just seem to invite having alcohol added to them. A lazy Sunday lunch (or even brunch); cooking yummy things for the week ahead in the afternoon; sitting on the deck a bit later with a book. I just have this awful habit of accompanying them all with alcohol - stupid I know, and I don't know why it's become such an automatic habit.

Hopefully if I wake up feeling better and more energetic than usual it may be a bit easier to keep the momentum going. I have a meeting at work at 8.30 on Monday morning that I really need to be totally present for (being there in body with a spaced out/hungover head just won't cut it) - so please feel free to give me a swift kick up the butt tomorrow if I even think about drinking during the day.

one2many - what tattoo are you getting? Are you able to share or is it a private one?

Hope everyone else's weekend is going well so far.
