hey sobriety.....you might want to pop on over to Weasel's thread, a bit further down today's Newcomers....'Friday..Saturday..Sunday' it's called. You'll get heaps of support there (depending on where you are in the world and who's still awake....but there's always SOMEONE).

Hey sobrietyftw,
Weekends are a bit of a struggle to begin with for quite a few people , your not alone with this , i just sat through mine at the begining but i guess that isn't ideal for most people ..
Quite a few people try to plan ahead so they can do stuff to occupie themselves whilst the urges are going on , i bought an x-box specificly for unexpected blank patches in my schedule , having a long shower when the urge struck was good for me , watching movies , play arcade games here , lots of stuff
It dosn't fully blank it out but it can help take the edge off
Bestwishes, m

Aww, bless ya mecanix: you're such a GUY. X box, arcade games....heheh. But yeah, whatever activities each of us can find to get through are GOOD.
I just wish there was a pill for people like me who constantly want to drink, regardless of my activities OR lack of. The nature of this thing is individual, and such a moment by moment process!

Hi and hang in there. "One week of sobriety! Dear God I want a drink so bad!!!"
When I said Dear God please help me stop drinking, I got results beyond my dreams and haven't had a desire to drink since, and that was over 30 years ago. BE WELL
