Let's have a sober weekend! May 17 -19
Hi Guys
It's Friday morning here: the start of another weekend, I suppose! I want to stay sober this weekend and I definitely don't want to relapse. I didn't drink last weekend and it was great - I did so many positive constructive things and it set me up to enjoy a nice sober and calm week. So, this weekend, let's stay sober together. Tell us your plans and let's lend each other some support.
Have a good one everybody.

Yes! A sober weekend is on it's way. I have work again tomorrow but I will be able to sleep in a bit (it's a night job) and then for the weekend I am going to one of my sober meetings, then I will be able to hang out with my boyfriend. 
Our schedules are opposite now... I kind of miss him :P

I'll take another sober weekend please... 
I'm going studying, bike ride, volunteer meeting and lots of dog walks.
Gf's having some (drinking) friends over Sat, but I think i'll be rude and disappear to the spare room. heh

It's looking good, guys. Seems like most people have positive plans in place to attend meetings and give some help to others. That's basically my plan too as well as some foreign language study. In fact, I'm going to be at an AA conference most of the weekend. Not really sure what to expect but I will keep you posted.

Took a personal day so I am going to get some things done.
I have to do a small amount of shopping, I am going to get my hair cut, I have an eye doctor appt
, I plan on laying down some mulch, I am meeting with my sponsor and then AA meeting after and that is just today...lol
I think I am going to need a nap in there someplace!
Tomorrow I am thinking of taking the dog and going for a walk on a new trail I heard about. Would do us both to get out and get some fresh air and exercise. AA meeting in the morning or evening. Not sure which yet. Maybe both..lol
Sunday is laundry and bumming around the house day.
All will be done sober

Looking forward to another sober weekend. Tonight bringing my son to a bday party, maybe some shopping. Saturday we have a very early start for sons lacrosse tournament and lucky for me I will NOT be hungover for it!
Then off to a birthday picnic for my mother (my mind did drift to maybe there'll be wine at the picnic and wouldn't it be nice to have one glass, blah, blah, blah...until I snapped back to reality. I really don't want it, i know where one glass leads and I am prepared to say no thanks should there be any).
Sunday is a get things done around the house day.
Enjoy your sober weekend everyone.

This is the start of a vacation for me. I'm a little nervous about it because I used to be at my very worst during vacation. I have plans to stay busy, see friends, and to enjoy the world. It's going to be fine.

Happy sober weekend everyone .. I will be taking a 7.5 hour plane trip on Sunday and have already started fantasising about the little bottles of wine they serve on airplanes and how one (or two or three or four) would suit me just fine ! (NOT!) I have GOT to get this idea out of my head right now - will be posting on SR for support before leaving for the airport. Hope that's OK !

This weekend is the Fair that My family and I have been going to for years. I don't remember the last time I was there sober. I am a little nervous, but I will have plenty of sober buddies with me. I am looking forward to having fun with my friends and kids sober! And no hangover when we go back on Sat! I may even ride a few rides with my kiddies. Have a great Sober weekend!

Day off from work today as caught some stomach "thing". Resting but planning on afternoon meeting. Dinner tonight with SO. We have been seeing less of each other; his drinking sure has increased now that sober me isn't around...he doesn't even remember talking with me on the phone the other night. I'm learning how to be a choice rather then an option.

Hanging with my little girl tonight, then hair cut, gym and some shopping tomorrow. Sunday getting my eyebrows waxed ( not exactly fun, but it will be nice not to look like Bert anymore), then out to dinner celebrating my first sober wedding anniversary in 14 years!
Have a great weekend all!

This will be my first sober weekend in awhile. Day 5 today (always a Friday) is when I start my weekend binge. I think it's great that everyone has fun, busy, sober weekends coming up! For me however, I think I'm going to just lay low, hang with my dogs, clean house, watch some TV. Everyone I socialize with (husband, family, friends) drinks and we always throw back a few on the weekend. I know I could go out and not drink and they wouldn't care, but for this 1st weekend, the temptation is too great and I feel I would cave. So, as boring as it sounds, I'm looking forward to staying in! Just going to focus on some quiet, healthy me time.
