Since I am unemployed weekends and weekdays all seem the same :-) Not much planned, my daughter works tonight, tomorrow night and Sunday night so will not be seeing her. Guess it depends on the weather, if it is nice out I will work on all the outside chores I neglected. If the weather is crappy the inside of the house will get attention. Trying to get myself to go to a meeting but am still having a hard time with the AA thing.

I'm planning to work tomorrow ,go to a meeting and go to a party at a friends,I don't worry about alcohol because I don't really like to drink,if there was bottles of oxys around,well,then we'd have a big problem.I've taken a new outlook on meetings and I'm trying to participate as much as I feel I should. Doing the work,I'm really doing it for a change. It's not as hard as I thought and its rewarding.itll be a good weekend ,sobers a always better,have a good one everyone...

You can just go to a meeting and not do the whole AA thing. I used to go to meetings all the time, but never got past step 1. And there is such a variety of them. I used to really enjoy going to meetings in the beginning of my sobriety.

Sometimes I feel like with 8 months I should be able to handle feeling upset/angry with a craving thrown in for good measure. Tonight I'm not feeling so strong. The ABF and I are on a different page and I'm getting sick of adjusting my mood/actions/everything around him. Instead of dealing with him I've decided to just feel my feelings and be by myself tonight. I decided the safest thing for me to do tonight to ensure my sobriety is to get in my jammies, check in on SR, and surf around for something to watch on tv.

Hey Weekenders!
I'm here but just a little late... my internet connection has been kinda sketchy today. Glad it cleared up so I could join in the sober w/e celebration.
Ladybug, congratulations on dumping that poison! Stay here with us and we will get you through to the other side! Way to pick yourself up off the mat and get right back on the sober horse!
Hoping to get some cleaning done and get back into the woods for another hike.
Peace to ALL!

I'm in for another sober weekend! It's so nice to see so many other people on this thread. I wish I could say I was going to do something new and exciting but really it will be the same old stuff. But it sure is nice doing things without a hangover!

Happy Saturday everyone ,
(i know in SD and Hawaii you have a bit more time to go )
I hope everyone who posted has made it , if not and you're reading this , It's a new day you get to try again Back on the sober bike , back on the highway .
Today i'm chasing down a missing parcel, i think the posty managed to not put a card through the door to tell me it was at the sorting office . I hope it's still there and hasn't been sent on to be returned to sender as it's been a week or so now
My commute and work takes from 6am till 7pm round trip 5 days a week so getting to things like the post office is v. difficult .
Then it's shopping with mum who has paranoid schizophrenia and now COPD, a slow and dithery doubling backwards and forwards round the supermarket .
( due to her having to follow her list in order, rather than scaninning through the whole list at each aisle and picking things up as we go up and down each aisle ... Don't Ask .. Just Accept it along with the vacant staring at the shelves, i think sometimes the sensory input from all the packaging and goods is bewildering for her ) .
I get to practaice my patience and serenity on this trek ..He He He
Bestwishes, m

Acheleus.... Put those feeling aside for the next 48 hours. I found that if I did that after a slip I could get back a bit faster.... Cuz in 48 to 72 hours later I felt a lot better.
How many days did you go? I think it was quit a bit and you will continue to do it.
M.... Wishing you and mum well today.
I am up early... Have a massage at 9am. The typical chores.

Good Morning Weekenders,
it's 10 weeks for me today......................day 70
the last 10 days have been tough, emotions all over the place and the urge has been really strong.
Feeling a little more in control and positive I'm going to make it this weekend x
