I really recommend making an action plan Michael - it's not just about filling up the weekend with activities or changing your routine, it's about devising strategies to call for help before its too late, and successfully battling that desire to drink.
If you want to drink and you have no strategies to fight that, you're beaten before you start.
Similarly, the time to call for help is before the urge overpowers you.
You'll be surprised at how much power you have when you successfully knock back a desire to drink
