Hang in there Jeni and don't do it. You are worth it! My Fridays turned into Thursday turned into Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday - every day was a Friday but felt like doomsday...Pretty soon I had no job so I could drink all the time...
Don't go down that road. It's kinda bumpy.

Thank you all so much. The cravings havent left me at all today, this is the hardest day I've experienced and the closest I've come to giving in so far. I'm sitting outside supermarket right now reading SR on my phone.
Not going to buy alcohol, just going to stock up on food and head home. Still feeling so resentful and sort of bad tempered but know its the right decision.
Will go to an AA meeting tonight I think, need to sort myself out.
God, why is this so difficult?!
You have all been amazing, thank you xx

Jeni...Good for you. I can relate to your post very well. Probably could have written it. SR is very helpful. You can always get support here.
Keep reading SR and don't give in today or the rest of the week end.

You can do this!!

In the beginning, I used to look upon the Friday nights as my "night out"...but, to a meeting, instead of a bar. I would get gussied up just like I would have to go bar/club hopping. I would go to a meeting every night on the weekend...sometimes a midnight meeting, too, on Saturday...sometimes a 10:30 a.m. meeting on Sunday.
When I had made friends at the meetings, we would often go out to the diner for coffee after the Saturday night meeting...just like I used to after drinking at the bars. My behavior didn't change so much as that my life took a different direction...instead of bars and drinking alcohol, it became meetings and drinking coffee. I really didn't have time on the weekends to think about drinking...it was always looking forward to the next meeting...AND I LOVED IT!

Oh so pleased I listened to you guys.
Just woken up on Saturday morning, feel happy and refreshed after a sober Friday night and planning a productive day.
Where would I be without you?!
