Yay -- sober weekend!
Yay! I've managed to remain sober this weekend. Have been distracting myself (by cruising posts & chat room, cleaning, reading ... ), and feel great. It's been hard at times, with the temptation of a big discount liquor store across the street from my place, and a pub next door ... but i'm surviving. And feel great. Nobody ever died from a craving ... so i'll just let those cravings pass.
Thanks to all for posting and sharing -- it's been helpful to know i'm not alone. And now, this being my 5th post, means i'll be able to enter the arcade and distract myself some more. Happy weekend!

Congrats! I made it through my first weekend too... YAY! I had a wedding yesterday and I was the DD, but there were moments of weakness but thankfully never gave into the temptation. I went in thinking it wasn't going to be so hard, but I told myself mulitiple times just get though today/tonight!
Keep it up, we can do this together!

Congrats!
I have watched two Sundays of football in a row without my old beloved beer (have not done that in 15+ years), I feel better than ever. I am loving iced tea and eating better. I have an MP3 player and enjoy listening to the audio files from xa-speakers.org, can listen on the computer, through my headphones when I walk and in the car. They (and SR) have really help me.

Congrats on getting through the weekend guys! This was my second weekend. Went out to a club Fri night to see a band. My husband was having beers, I wasn't. My mind tried many times to convince me I could have a few beers, but I didn't. By the end of the night my husband was drunk along with many other club goers and I remembered why I was quitting. The next night we hung out and barbecued, usually another drinking activity. My brain tried and tried again. I even said at one point "I'm gonna have a beer. Hanging on the patio doesn't make sense without drinking a beer" I never did have that beer.
