Friday - June 20th!

Hi Absters,
I'm back on-line after changing internet providers. I could only view the site but had a hard time posting.
I'll copy your wording ,Tiny, by saying that I am "back in the groove" as well after having a small blip on the sobriety radar scan.
However I feel very strong,especially as this is Friday evening, and am really looking foward to an AF weekend.
DG, I love your term "HF" as that has such appeal to it. I have found that the harder I struggle through the evening the sweeter the next morning is.
Whatever my plans are this weekend, and some of the plans are still up in the air, I will do whatever.....WITHOUT ALCOHOL. It basically comes down to........I can do almost anything. I just can't drink. What freedom!!!!
Have a great night all.

Friday - June 20th!

Everyone: This is a late check-in. We have a semi-quiet weekend w/some downtime, but that doesn't always work to my advantage. Boredom &/or lack of a structured activity has been a trigger for drinking many times over. I'm a bit of an activity junkie & have a lot of trouble relaxing. I'm bound & determined to take time for myself & stay sober as well.

I think that when I have unstructured time in front of me, my anxiety creeps in. My mind starts going around in circular thinking, & I feel erroneously that the only way to stop it is to drink. That won't be happening today, tomorrow, or Sunday. This will be a AF weekend. One big plus for me is that I keep no alcohol in the house. If I want to drink, I have to go out & get it.

Take care everyone. Keep remembering that you are in charge of your own sobriety. This is the one thing that nobody else can do for you.

Love, Mary
