Hello everyone

This is my first post here although I've visited the forums before. Until now my view has always been that it's ok I can moderate but things have got dramatically worse and I'm facing up to the mess I have made.

I don't drink during the week, doesn't mean I didn't want to but I knocked it on the head a few years ago. However weekends are impossible. Im pretty sure it's my way of blocking my mind from thinking about some terrible things that have happened in the past. I do suffer with mental health issues, PTSD

Anyway this is day 3 sober, I will definitely need a hand hold when we get to Friday.
I'm a definite binge drinker and I'm ashamed of the quantity. Anyway onwards and upwards. Pleased to meet you all at last

Welcome to the posting side of things! Why don’t you join the weekender thread, there is a new one each Friday where everyone helps each other get through the weekend and has some laughs along the way. Weekends can be tough but you can do this! xx

Hello and welcome.
Weekends are rough. They bother me and I don't like them and I've been sober for over ten years.
I used to try and work weekends before I retired, but now I'm left with a void. A black hole that wants to suck me in. I'm being a little melodramatic, but I hope you get the point, you're not alone.

Congratulations on three days, you're off to a great start.
