:welcome:This is a thread to help us get through the weekend as we all know that the weekends are tough (well they are for me).
I went 6 days A/F then Friday night came along and now I am back on day 1
I am determind to do this but the weekends are hard especially Fridays as that used to be my drinking night. BUT NO MORE!!!!!!!!
Right ......... I am going to make this day a good one, as soon as hubbie gets back from bunnings I am going to walk the dog (lets hope the rain holds off) then I will do a bit of housework.....I lead an exciting life.....lol but at least it will keep me busy.........:H
Catch you all later

Ronnie,
Keeping myself extremely busy, to the point of exhausting myself was a big help in the beginning!
Actually it still is as it keeps me dwelling on all of the things that could/have been drinking triggers for me
My house is a lot more organized & less cluttered these days :H

Have a good & busy weekend!

Sorry to hear that Ronnie, Ive slipped so many many times. There is something in my head saying you need to do this you need to do this, then the other side wants that drink.. frustrating and very hard.. I wish you best of luck, atleast your looking forward to an AL free Sat!

Good on you Ronnie, Glad to catch up and that you are back! You know you can do this! You know you are a fighter!!! The first week is tough and slips sometimes do occur, but don"t pay to much attention to them, your energy directed to dealing with cravings is more important at the moment. I have tried everything and now are FINALLY getting success with AB ( 4 1/2 weeks af) Had a great weekend little thoughts of al really. What I have found helpful though is keeping myself BUSY,BUSY and never giving myself to much free time! Keep in touch,if you need advice on AB pls let me know. :welcome::welcome::welcome: xxx

AB is what I call a brutal drug. Drinking with it can be catastrophic ! You JUST can't, so that also helps enormously with cravings.

Thanks Boozer,
So glad you had a great weekend and you have come such a long way honey, well done and keep it up.
I am not on any meds apart from vit B, i will see how i go before i start with any meds. I know i can do this, during the week is not too bad its just the weekends that the big voice keeps shouting at me go on!! But i will find a way to shut that voice up...lol

Hello Ronnie, This is just a quick post to offer you strength today.( 7.am on the East coast) . Yes the W/E are murder for the 1st few weeks!! YOU know that cause you have done it before. Think about HOW you won the battle last time! What did you do that worked? Was it those WILD parties? Meds are an option. MWO at the moment! Sorry to rush would love to post more, but work beckons. Will post later today! Good Luck and keep positive.

Ronnie, just checking in to see how you went today. Its 4.30pm in WA? 6.30pm here and another day done and dusted! Funny how when you start to notch up a week or two you are nowhere near obsessed every damn minute of the day with AL. When to drink,how much,what will I drink, have I enough? The odd bottle planted here and there. That's the thing I really hate about al, I can cope ok with hangovers, however, regret the lost time and general lack of interest in everything! I rarely think of al whilst at work and the 4.00 o'clock cravings most of the time are gone. Going out is still a bit challenging,especially that drink at home prior to leaving!! Bit lost some times when I am out,but getting better. Anyhow didn't mean to ramble just wanted to say Hi and send some strength to you as I KNOW the first few days is tough. SO hang in there Ronnie and keep posting to let me know how u are making out. Thinking of You!!
