Weekends!!! Ugh

I,ve done good all week, on day 5. Now the weekend is creeping up. Weekends are my down fall. What do you do weekends to stay away from drinking?

The first weekend was hard as I recall (though it wasn't that long ago). Make a plan. Make a list.

Suggestions: Go see a movie, go get some treats, take a walk, take a drive, go to the mall, check in to SR often, and plan to go to be early. That's what worked for me anyway.

I'm a "list" sort of person so it worked for me

I started coming up with busy plans that would keep me occupied for the weekend.
