Let's have a sober weekend! May 17 -19
Sounds like a wise approach, Opgirl. Everyone else looks pretty busy, don't they? Glad to hear quite a lot of us are going to AA meetings, meeting sponsors and things like that. For those that can't do that, or prefer not to do so, I hope this board reminds you that we're all supporting each other and we can always think about that should the temptation to have a drink flash through our minds.

I made it through last weekend but slipped on Mon-Tues-Wed. I am facing a rough weekend moving my mom out of my parents house and into a condo so I know I must be proactive to make it through. I am going to a meeting after work tonight and a meeting each day (maybe a couple) this weekend and will reach out to people in recovery. Other than that, lots of iced tea, reading, yard work, great healthy cooking, and quality time with my wife and son.
I'm going to see my family today. I have not seen them since I got out of rehab and relapsed on day 30. Now I'm on day 17. We are having a cookout andpregraduation party for my nephew. I'm so proud of him, he is the only one in the family, besides my mom that does not smoke pot or drink. He is graduating from high school and has a scholarship to college. He is very smart and I'm proud that he is breaking the cycle of drug and alcohol dependency.
Tomorrow I will be selling orchids, going to the graduation ceremony and then to Blackstone, a local brewery. I have been there so many times and would get the sampler of beers, not tomorrow, I will be sticking to water. We then will go back to my sister's for another small gathering.
Sunday I plan to have some one on one time with my mom. She really thinks and continues to tell me to go see a minister, go to church, read the Bible. I don't want to hurt her feelings but that stuff is not for me. I am spiritual but not in that way. I probably should just say ok mom, I will. But I don't want to give her false hope. I also don't want to worry her.
Needless to say this weekend will be the toughest one so far. I m looking forward to seeing everyone though, it will be fun. My family is very fun and I have been around them many times without using so I know I can do it. I want to do it and they are all expecting that I will do it. It may not be do tough after all.
Have a good one everyone.
I will be checking in a lot

It's great to see so many familiar names here!
RiverFriend, challenges in life are actually much easier sober. We can face things, deal with them, AND be safer all while saving money and marriage!
"Live longer--eat clams! Love longer--eat oysters!" I'll be working at the shellfish farm later today... AA and sponsor meetings tomorrow...
Let's all have a HAPPY sober weekend!

I want to stay sober too.
It's hard though, my friends are going to a concert tomorrow and doing ecstasy. I can't stop fantasizing about joining them, having a few drinks, getting high, dancing, and chain-smoking.
I feel like I'm missing out, I know I'm not really, but I FEEL like I am.
Uuuuugh...

I'm in... Going to clean stuff and exercise myself silly.
Wow Woozy I remember that stuff from 15 years ago... Raves etc. Just remember you're not missing out, I'm all for freedom of choice, but that stuff is cooked in basements by amateurs and can kill people.
No Raves this weekend for me either

Six weeks sober today. Going to a minimum of two AA meetings this weekend, joining a gym, seeing a couple of sober friends, and spending several hours each with a piano, a guitar, a book, and a meditation cushion. Looking forward to all of it.

30 days sober today and I believe its my 5th sober weekend.
Got a meeting in today after work. Supposed to do a race to raise money for breast cancer in the morning. Take the car to the shop. More meetings and house/yard work. Gotta fit some fun and relaxation in too.
Have a great sober weekend peeps!! You can do it!!

Quiet time with my kids. Spending time with my boyfriend. Charting changes is cam c4 and c3 plants and cellular degeneration over periods of time and studying pics of fossilized flora remains. Or in short terminology.....studying.
