My first weekend was NOT easy, the cravings hit hard and I struggled through it. It was the first time I had to focus on every hour of the day to NOT drink. My AV told me a lot of things to try to get me to cave, "Sobriety isn't worth it," " You can control it," "It's the weekend, you deserve it." It was a constant struggle, and it may be for you all as well, but rationally, you know it isn't true. Waking up, clear minded, feeling great, is the victory. And Monday morning, making it through, is the victory. The second weekend was even more difficult then the first and I almost caved this last Sunday.

I'm on day 16 and never looking back. You can do it too. Stay busy! Have a plan for when those cravings hit. And EXPECT it to be bad, hope for the best, plan for the worst.

Good luck, you can do this!

Good luck to you all
