Thank you fellow Weekenders! I got through my fifth sober weekend and it was fabulous. I went for a jog/walk two days in a row, cleaned, cooked, and kept life simple. Things are not perfect. But I have so much more energy to do the "normal" things that daily life requires. I can actually do my dishes, make my bed, do my laundry, and prepare my own meals. These are the normal things everyone who is not an aristocrat takes care to do. But for someone who drank alcoholically every day for twenty-years (with the amount of alcohol intake progressing), I feel like a kid who is learning to live on their own for the first time. It still takes a lot of effort for me to do basic tasks but I'm improving. See you next weekend!
