Keep strong and positive, Makrellen, it gets better and better.
How about taking a walk on the beach, being with some "non-drinking" friends this weekend? Maybe planning ahead for what you will do to keep some fun in the weekend and pass the time too?
I found that work helped (ok, pretty boring) but it kept my mind busy and the time seemed to fly?
As our American friends say "rootin' for ya"
All the best,
Bruce.
