Hi.

I'm having a Friday night thought or two, also. Get to the fridge and eat, eat, eat. Drink a large glass of some water. Go for a walk (away from the wineries). Call a friend. Try Candy Crush (a new addiction). I believe it is K-9 who says it so well, you'll never regret NOT drinking tonight. We're here for each other. You can do this!

And remember how you felt the morning after your last drunk. Don't want to feel like that again, right?!

Hi L123. Welcome and glad you have joined us. The first weekend is the hardest. Stay close to us and keep posting. As Pavati said, make sure you eat until you are full. It's very important. It stops cravings. Hope to get to know you better.

L123,
I'm right there with you. This is a huge trigger for me and I know it. Weekends are the toughest. I thought about this late in the work day. For years, I've drunk on Friday and Sat. nights. Years and years. So of course I'm going to feel that sting. But that's all it is is a sting. Pavati is right. WE won't regret this tomorrow. We will feel so great and get our weekend chores done without feeling like crap. And MossRose said it! EAT! I even had dessert tonight. Yum!

A craving will never last as long as a hangover! Ride it out. Eat some candy. Read a book. Take a bath. Just get through it tonight and you'll be that much stronger tomorrow. You'll never wake up in the morning wishing you'd drank the night before.

Hang in there. I am used to drinking on Friday and Saturday as well, so I mentally had to remind myself that I wouldn't be curling up on my couch to watch crap television tonight with beers.

It gets easier, promise. I go through whole weekends now without thinking about it. The more weekends you get under your belt, the easier it gets. You'll start to love having a choice about how you spend your downtime (not in - or recovering from - an alcohol induced haze).

Hi Lib123, by now it will have passed and you will be so proud of yourself, the first weekend, Christmas, birthday (or any day with a "y" in it in my case :blush: ) are hell but once you've got through them you start to feel good about yourself again. Try and focus on the positives, Monday mornings are horrid anyway but they are easier to face if you're not doing it hungover, I love watching the heavy drinkers come crawling in around 10am looking like shit (and no doubt feeling like it too :H), bitchy? of course

Indulge yourself other ways, movies, chocolate, candle lit baths or if all else fails find something to clean, any distraction will do!

Have a great AF weekend and :welcome:

How are you doing, Liberte?

I don't know where the supplements ship from, but Eloise just posted about this in the holistic section. I believe she said it took just over a week for them to ship. As an aside, I still use the supps everyday, and really believe they help.
