Welcome to the Weekenders
Surely.....I’m okay to have a drink now?....After all this time sober!......
I had these thoughts the first time I got sober. I was confident I’d become a sober, sensible person, in control of my thoughts and actions. So surely one or two drinks would be ok.
..I had thoughts that I was a ‘normie’ drinker..
..I was an adult after all and I’d proved I could stop drinking.
After that first drink at eight months sober my drinking got steadily worse until I was drinking as much as when I’d stopped.
It took many years to stop drinking after acting on those thoughts , but this time I made my mind up it was for good. I didn’t want my life revolving round drink anymore.
If you’ve had these thoughts and perhaps forgotten why you decided to stop drinking, please re-think your thoughts.
Remember why you want to stop or have stopped already..... I could write a story of why I did and I think, perhaps you could too?
If this is your first weekend sober, or many, come join us for support and chat...as we know the weekends can be a struggle sometimes. (We’re here all week too!)
