Uh Oh first weekend
Ok so this will be my first weekend sober in a loooong time.Not sure what to do with myself as me and the hubby usually spend our weekends drinking. He is still drinking but is understanding when I tell him I can't be going to bars etc.
Sooo whats a girl to do?

For me, planning the weekends without Booze were key early on. Plan a movie night? Cook a romantic dinner for both of you,booze free of course. make sure a grea dessert is included. Both of you will enjoy it it and have a glimpse early on of how much better sober life is.

I have too much free time I know. What am i sposta do.Shop?
When you have a drinking spouse theyare not as likely to wanna do things like movies etc. cuz theres no booze involved.

My first sober weekend in years too. I am planning meetings tonight and tomorrow as those were my biggest drinking days and have planned a ton of non drinking activities to keep myself busy the rest of the weekend. Going to the gym, errands, shopping, maybe finish the painting I started awhile ago but never finished because I was always too shaky.
You can always rent a movie and get carryout for the two of you.... I tackled a lot of projects (like cleaning out closets) on the weekends, but I know I didn't always feel like cleaning/working. Do you have any interests?
Right after I got sober, I picked up knitting. It gave me something to do when I felt bored or restless in the evening. It was therapeutic and as it turned out I was able to make scarves for everyone for Christmas. Started making jewelry, too, which can be fun.....
