You go Jenn! You can do it! The weekends are time for fun and getting away from the stress of the week. No sense in creating more by drinking
Take careComment

Yeah, we can do this. As for diversion plans....mine is an old Paul Newman movie tonight - that will divert me plenty - boy was he good looking' - he wasn't so bad as an old guy either, I'm thinkin'
Tomorrow I may make a nice treat for Sunday night dessert...go to the library and get some good reading. After that...don't know. All I do know is I won't be drinking. Anyone else got some plans to share?Ask yourselves, would you rather be a non drinker with an occasional desire to drink or a drinker with a constant desire to stop doing it?

Tonight I have leave work at 4, drive to get cousin at 5, take hubby to the parts store between 5:30 and 6:30, go to friend that is completely sobers house at 7, go to vit. store and walmart with her and talk and hang out till 9 when the shops will be closed and I will be out of harms way....here is the clincher. I'm not feeling it, I feel no strong, I feel like I'm going to give in, this is not a craving it is a want that has been here since Wednesday. I hope I won't but I no that won't work...sorry guy's I'm trying here but I'm really really hurting inside this week.You always succeed if you never stop trying.

Does you friend know you're not drinking? Can you enlist her help to do something for a longer period of time. Movie, bowling??Psalms 119:45

Jenny - hang in there! Sounds like you have taken the right approach and have stuff planned that will distract you from AL. You can do it! Just remember the feeling you will have when you wake up Sunday morning hangover-free!Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.Comment

Jenny,
Like Jolie said, hang in there. If drinking were the answer none of us would be here. We're all in this together so we can make our tomorrows better than today and much, much better than days past.2023 - focus, getting it done, and living the way it should be and being the person I need to be.Comment

Jenny, i have been going thru absolute hell since New Years but no matter what you can not drink your way thru it. Believe me the thoughts have crossed my mind to drink, but then i think through it and i know it wont help. Sure it may taked away the momentary hurt but the problem will still be there. I know for me that drinking only makes me more emotional so in fact it may even make it worse. You will find strength you never thought you had if you can get thru this without drinking.AL free since March 17th 2011...loving this life. No drinking no matter what.

And one thing i have learned is i truly have a lot of emotional baggage that i carried thruoghout my drinking years. I never learned to deal with real life problems when i was drinking. Stopping the drinking is only the beginning, you will have to relearn how to get thru discomfort and problem resolution without alcohol. I have been AL free for almost 10 months and i am only scratching the surface in learning how to live again. I dont know how long you have been drinking, i abused alcohol for 10 years and before that weed for another 10 years so basically my whole adult life has been spent running and hiding from life. Learning how to deal with life and all that goes with it does not just happen once you stop drinking. Have you tried counseling or support groups? I did Smart Recovery and now i rely on this website and my faith to help me though the rough times.
Let us know how you are doing today. I know it is hard to but you can do this!AL free since March 17th 2011...loving this life. No drinking no matter what.

Jenny, let's make it through this weekend. It sound like you have every type of temptation around you...don't let it get you down. Now, if I could only listen to my own words...BelleGirl
Alcohol does me no favors.
Pouring poison down your throat is just plain STUPID!Comment

Hi Jenny,
Just saw this thread! I'm sure you're still hanging in and I know you can do this! I'm having an awful weekend, too but I just keep telling myself drinking is not an option anymore, so I have to figure something else out to take it's place from now on....
Hope you're enjoying a wonderful AF Saturday night knowing you'll wake up clear headed tomorrow!
