Is there anything you could do on a Friday that would mean you cannot possibly drink? I agree with onlythetruth - keeping yourself busy and doing things that you really enjoy really helps in the beginning. It's also fantastic to actually do things that we feel great about, regardless of the alcohol issue. Doing things for you that make you happy will really help with feeling positive towards yourself and add to your determination to be sober. I started baking and exercising and other things that required me to be totally immersed in that one thing so that my mind didn't have a chance to wander.
