*ring ring* try your weekend sober ! 26,27 & 28 april 2013
 

Hi Guys and Gals ,

It's the weekend and i haven't seen a weekend thread whilst i was picking through the threads .

So here it is , i hope you come join me in aspiring to have a sober weekend , i'm going to make my way slow and steady till monday , I don't do dramas just steady as we go .

The idea was to offer a tangental form of support just as a bit of a "touch base" and check in , if you want full on support SR style then start a thread .. whilst also giving a window for people to see what a sober weekend is like ( sober weekends are not THAT scarry honest ;) and if you can't trust the word of some stranger from off the interweb then who can you trust ? )

I have my sober bike out , it's not a race and the only destination is sober beach where the living is easy .. lets get going eh ?

*ring ring*

hugs, M

Count me in!

I will join you on the sober week end thread :)
Right now I am working from home and often I get called to work on the week end.
The weather is beautiful here and I am thinking about going to the Japanese gardens if it stays that way. I'll just bring a book and a sandwich and my camera.
Otherwise I have a meeting planned for everyday of the week, tomorrow afternoon is my women's group and Sunday night my home group's business meeting then anniversary meeting where I'll receive my 90 day chip and gorge myself on banana cake:)
In the downtime I enjoy playing Gardens of Time on playdom (love to build my little garden, I know it is kind of OCD but who said I was well? LOL). Of course I will also check SR.
I am also thinking about watching the new movie "Oz the Great and Powerful" with my friend.

Wishing everyone a good and sober week end.

PS: oh yeah and I also need to do some laundry (bummer) and every Sunday morning is my work meeting where I touch base with my colleagues.

Looking forward to another sober weekend: no AV, you may not go to the Friday afternoon office cocktail hour.

I'm in. Thanks for starting this thread. Party Sober... I think that means try to have some fun w/out the booz etc.

I'm in. It will be my 1st sober weekend since DECEMBER if I manage thru it.

I have a pile of laundry to do too, being an engineer is a messy business !

I'm sure there is a sock monster in my house who likes one of each pair .. i now try to buy several pairs the same but i still end up with odd ones ! go figure eh ? I try to pursuade myself wearing odd ones together is endearing and mildly excentric rather than being a cheapskate .

In With 2 Rings and a Sizzle.

Ha. I just ate a bacon sandwich! Yum.

Fixed your post, mate!

Aaaaahhh. Thank you :). Much better.

I hope you do too triathlynne,

Sobriety, the difficult bit always seems to be at the begining !

I've realized today I have to switch to decaf.

Ok sign me up. Had a busy day, and I've got plans for the whole weekend. Dog playgroup 2mrrw am 2. Shld be fun. Moms 78th bday Sunday. Probably going out to dinnere. A lot of other things to keep me busy, that don't involve drinking. Have a great weekend every1. happyface:

I am keeping myself occupied and tiring myself out by tackling our yard. Aka jungle b

Happy sober weekend to all! Especially my neighbor Lynne from down south there--in the long run, it's easier to not drink than to drink...

Mecanix, all my socks are various shades of gray. Sometimes they don't quite match, but they always look okay...

I got some mowing done yesterday, will be into the garden to do some weeding today. Tomorrow is morning AA meeting followed by sponsor's meeting...

Aloha!

A sober weekend at the New Orleans Jazz Festival..... Coming right up !

"I'm sure there is a sock monster in my house who likes one of each pair .. i now try to buy several pairs the same but i still end up with odd ones ! go figure eh ? I try to pursuade myself wearing odd ones together is endearing and mildly excentric rather than being a cheapskate ."

The sock monster is also particularly busy at my house!!! I gave up fighting him a long time ago:
Here are the steps we took, which are suggested as a program of recovery
1) We admitted we were powerless over the sock monster, that our sock drawers had become unmanageable.
2) Came to believe that frequent trips to buy socks could restore us to sanity.
3) Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the wholesale socks store as we understood it.
4) Made a searching and fearless inventory of our drawers.
5) Admitted to the salesperson, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs in doing laundry.
6) Were entirely ready to have our washer dryer remove all the stains of our socks.
7) Humbly asked the sock makers to please put velcro on socks so we could pair them.
8) Made a list of all socks we had lost and became willing to find them under the sofa or in any other locations.
9) Made direct efforts to reunite socks whenever possible except when to do so would drive our loved ones crazy.
10) Continued to take inventory of our socks and when one was missing promptly admitted it.
11) Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our memory, praying only for knowledge of where that one expensive mohair sock could be and the courage to rummage through our drawers to find it.
12) Having had a complete nervous breakdown as a result of those steps, we tried to carry the messages to others that the sock monster exist and cannot be thwarted or defeated.

:P

Lol -nuts Carlotta !

Funny!

Count me in for the weekend!

Hello, I'm checking in for my sixth weekend in a row sober. And I am probably only going to sleep.

And eat.

Have a nice sober weekend, everyone.

No booze for me this weekend or the next or the next... Spring is finally here in the Rocky Mountains!! Lots to do in the Great Outdoors!!! Happy Sober weekend everyone!

Never heard the 12 sock steps! Hilarious!!

Count me in - sober weekend for me too. Wanted to go to a club tonight but didn't. Went to a meeting instead. I've got a BBQ tomorrow and I really, really, really want to do it sober.

Oh yes I'm up for a sober weekend. Going to take an early night now and I'll log back tomorrow morning.

Sober weekend here! So glad work is over. Family birthday party tonight. Hoping there's some good food and desserts! Depending on how late we stay, I may need to stop and get bacon for breakfast tomorrow! Tomorrow I'm going to get some yard work done, plant some bushes and flowers. The weather is supposed to be nice here which makes me so happy!

In this weekend! Most weekends have went surprisingly smooth for me but this weekend I already have a lot of 'beast' activity going.

I am alone from now thru sunday night.

Thoughts have been rollin in all day about just have a beer or two... Test it out... Its been 4 months! Nobody who cant quit can stop on a dime for that long.. Plus nobody will even know.

Im making family plans and whenever I am alone I will be close to SR this weekend. Gonna hit a couple meetings and work on some step work too.

Looking forward to meeting the challenge and enjoying a nice sober weekend

Don't have a few beers Fallow!! You don't need that stuff!

First sober in weekend in about 3 months. I'm going to watch a movie and take it down early. The rest of my friends are enjoying happy hour and probably clubbing tonight. 5 days sober and counting.

I am going thru the same but a few beers is not worth it! No beer is worth it. I just keep telling myself that. It's hard but we'll get through it. Best of luck :)
