Welcome to SR Tmcginnis!

The first thing I would do is to tell what you have told us to your family and friends. Most people will understand and be pleased that you are doing this. The second thing I would suggest is to arrange a couple of alcohol free displacement activities over the weekend so perhaps a movie on Friday and a day out somewhere on Saturday. That is the beginning of breaking the old habits and mindset and replacing them with new ones.

One good thing is that it does not sound like you are a weekday drinker on top of weekend binging. You really, really don't want it to progress to that so well done for realising you have issues with your drinking before it did.
