I only have a couple weeks sobriety myself, but i can reflect back on how I think I did it. Everyone the thought of drinking came into my mind, and trust me it did, I immediately turned my thoughts to something else and found something that needed to be done. I per-planned also by scheduling small events with my daughter for Friday night, Saturday afternoon, and Saturday night. I kept Sunday at home for our family day. It worked well because we stayed busy and peoductive, but also had down time to rest and recharge. I hope your days off become easier for you, and just have a plan in place, and post here whenever and as much as you need.
