I was a "weekend warrior" as well. Used to go straight to the bar at 5pm on Fridays and wouldn't get home until 2am. Then I began day-drinking on the weekends at home, and became so addicted that I quit my job in order to drink at home full time.
Things can unravel fast with this addiction and you can get in over your head very quickly. I try and do lots of new and exciting things in sobriety - gives me something valuable to lose.
