Most seem to think B will be the road and thats ok. I will prove you wrong. The negativity is nothing but encouragement.
I have committed to 12 days and the first weekend sober in many years but theres no talk of that.
I will update as the journey continues.
I'd again share with you BD that SR is a site dedicated to sobriety. You won't find support for "normal" drinking or encouragement for it because it's "not as bad" as binge drinking. It is absolutely your choice if your goal is to take a week off and them try drinking again next weekend, but that is not sobriety and it's not something that anyone here will condone. By choosing to keep bringing it up, you will continue to receive the same response - because what you are proposing is impossible for the rest of us. A "pipe dream" so to speak.
