For many people and I am sure many of us Friday used signified the start of the weekend and the time to plan the weekend's drinking activites. I used to love Friday as I knew I could drink on Friday night and not worry about having to get up for work the next day , I also knew I could legitmately drink in the day as ' its the weekend ' time to relax and heck I deserve a drink at the weekends I work hard all week !!! all excuses to feed my demon and kid myself that my drinking was not a problem
In the early days of being af Fridays and the looming weekend was a bit scary , what could I do that did not involve al ??????? how would I cope. Though it might be an idea to share what we all plan to do this weekend which now that it does not revolve around al.
My weekend plans are have a nice meal and some af wine with my husband who has been away all week and not have to live with the fear of consequences of the evening ending in a drunken row ( I hate my husband working away so much but know he has to and does it for our family, my sober brain can deal with this but my drunken one used to rant and rave and get abusive and make my husband feel awful for supporting his family, spoiling the time we do get together).
Saturday plan to be up bright and early go out for a hike in the mud and rain in my make up lol feel so amazing these days I love looking my best even hiking.
Saturday evening will be spent in front of our log fire catching up and relaxing as we will be shattered after braving the elements and indulging in some treats of the chocolate variety !!! well I have to have something naughty .
Sunday ??? no plan so far but know that I wil not be hung over, have fallen out with my husband or hating myself for something I have said or done while drunk, so anything is possible !!!.
There was a time when contemplating the weekend without al would have bought me out in a cold sweat now it fills me with pride and hope and excitement as being af has given me the freedom to be and do what I want !!!
