6th 7th & 8th of december 2013 weekend thread come join in
Hey everyone ,
It's the weekend, some people find it tough going . lets give them all something to read . sober people do sober and interesting things at the weekend ( debatable when you look at some hobbies but you get the idea, lets not get drawn into long and rambling discussions about that as thats not really the focus of what i'm trying to say here ) , being sober means your able to do a lot more things and do them better .
Let share what a sober weekend looks and feel like .
lets try and get through .
If you need to cry for help and get full SR support then starting your own thread in the newcomers area is a good idea as messages tucked away in other threads might get overlooked by some .
Bestwishes, m

Mecanix my main Pommie man your timing is impeccable! I've just come home on a sunny summer Friday evening. Where's our * ring ring * ?
* ring ring * * ring ring *
We have a dinner out with friends tomorrow night which I'm really looking forward to. Sunday will include a long bike ride if it's not too hot early on and if it is hot a dive in the surf when I am done. Baking as usual is on my agenda, there are some DVDs I'd like to watch and some Xmas gift making to finish off.
* ring ring * Have a good one sober people.

Sober weekends are the best! Definitely so much more relaxing than weekends spent drinking and hungover. It is really early Friday morning here. My plans for this weekend include attending my last day of classes for the term, doing some Christmas shopping, studying, writing my first exam, studying, enjoying a family member's birthday party celebration, and more studying (I have exams all next week).

Congrats chee! Congrats to everyone celebrating another sober weekend!
I went out last night and bought a $20 fake tree. I have zero Christmas stuff since I moved without all that. So I am going to have a ticky tacky little Christmas. Want to get some strange lights and god aweful ornaments. The tacky line moves a lot but I am sure to find something a little off. Lol
That's to break the mold of always having a traditional tree and just have fun with it all. This wil be fun!
Anyway! Ring ring!

Ken, the greatest thing about decorating anything yourself, is that its you!! Tacky or not, 20.00 or 50.00 the meaning is still there.
I personally don't buy gifts, I either make them or give someone something they have commented on in my house, which isn't a lot so I make them.
It's pure enjoyment just having family and or friends around at Christmas, and for that matter any day of the week!
I gotta zip to work, Happy Friday

Yay! A sober weekend. I was looking for this thread. And I found it! Work today and then what? My husband is working tonight and my son is sleeping over at a friend's house for the first time. Me and my daughter. I will read to her at bedtime and then probably do the same for myself. Tomorrow we are going to help decorate our church for Christmas. Then I must start thinking about Christmas shopping. Especially if I am going to order online.
I have to come up with something for Sunday.

It feels absolutely fantastic to get to be sober. It's like I was in prison for 15 years and now I'm released - I've served my drunk time and now I can enjoy the rest of my life being free.
Have a great weekend everybody.

I'm in! We have a kids' Christmas party on Sunday, but tomorrow will be a day to get my house in order and finish getting the decorations up. We traveled for Thanksgiving and it's always so hard to get back to normal after traveling with kids and then coming straight back to a work week. Happy sober weekend, everyone!

I am constantly working on one art project or another, so there is very little room for a traditional tree, besides, the cats would end up removing all the ornaments from a traditional tree.
I believe Christmas is a state of mind.
Happy Weekend Everyone!!!!!!

Last year my brother and his family went away for Christmas but hosted a family gift exchange before leaving. They didnt put up a tree. He took a coat stand, basically a pole with hooks, and draped lights from it creating a tree shape, taping the ends to the floor. A festivus pole. We had a good time, especially kidding him about his tree. Very creative.
