Little after 8pm here on the east coast. *Ring Ring* Still on my bike heading for Monday. Its nice to not be half way through a bottle or be cashing out a bar tab that I really could not afford. Have a great rest of the evening. 
I could not have done this without you all.

*ring ring* weekenders,
Had a great day. Met up with a friend from my guitar group and we picked out some music to work on. Trimmed some nasty bushes. Watched the movie "Identity Thief" which was pretty funny. Now getting ready to close out this sober day. See you tomorrow.
Peace,
Cas

Happy Saturday!
Had a hard time sleeping last night after a long conversation with a good friend about some of the tragedies I've experienced in my life. In the past, I would have started smoking pot and drinking beer to get over it..... BUT NOT TODAY!!
So here I am with my peeps at SR on sat night.... with my favorite band blasting on the stereo and tears of joy streaming down my face.....
NO Weasel, Sobriety DOESN'T SUCK!!
My new life ROCKS!

Hi Weekenders, late night check-in for me! Just got back from a move--"The To Do List." Pretty damn funny but I think you had to be in high school in the late 80s/early 90s to really appreciate it. I graduated high school in 1992 so it was such a blast from the past for me. So many things I totally forgot about that have completely disappeared from popular culture these days---mostly for the good 
It was funny nonetheless but definitely made me feel my age.
Other than that, had a lovely sushi dinner at a wonderful Asian fusion place downtown.
Funny, I used to avoid all of the mom and pop restaurants in Philly's Chinatown and other ethnic neighborhoods because they didn't have a liquor license and I was too lazy to remember to BYOB most of the time---if it even was an option.
Now that I am sober a whole new world has opened up to me in dining choices so I am loving it!!
Slept way late this morning (almost 11:30AM) and it felt great.
Breakfast at our favorite neighborhood diner tomorrow morning (homemade blueberry pancakes!) and then back to DC in the afternoon.
Will check in with you all tomorrow.
Oh...and Mecanix?? You are fabulous!!! 100 weeks in completely awesome.

Just an evening check in with everyone. I had a good day
On my front porch right now sober, smoking a cigarette and listening to my neighbors' mariachi band (they are actually really good) on a beautiful evening. It does not get any better than that.

Happy sober sunday y'all .
Hope were all driving our sober bikes down the higway of life , you might fall off, hit a pothiole and wobble , take a tumble but that is no reason to throw the bike in the ditch and stomp off and hide away from the fun in the drunk isolation room .
My Bike has a bell *ring ring* the first *ring* is a bell of mindfullnes to call us all together to remember the pain and suffering caused in our lives by alcohol / drugs .
The second *ring* is the is the freedom bell ringing out to tell you that you're FREE
Have a good sober sunday , i'm off to make coffee and toast
Bestwishes, m

Hey, Mecanix, thanks for starting this thread. I kept looking for a weekenders thread on Friday and Saturday. Love hearing from others who may struggle with weekends. I won't say I struggled-I feel good and am anticipating a good day where I remember most of what I do and say. Here I thought it was all the alcohol making my memory not so good-when in fact, that is just me! :-) It's all good-glad to be here.

you don't have to do this alone... there's strength in numbers
Hi weekenders
I'm up early 7:00 am. I'm so grateful to look over and see my two grandchildren , still asleep , snuggled, side by side. They love each other. They love me
Why would I ever want to go back to drugs
I have so much to be grateful for , without them.
It's a little rainy here , but the weatherman promised sunshine , we'll see
Have a good Sunday

Hope Dorris checks in soon ,
I think i saw somewhere that Tisa had achieved quite a few days but didn't want to make a big thing about it , So i certainly will be careful not to mention that , and not say
Onwards

Just back from breakfast and a stroll by the water.
As I was walking I saw a bike chained up by a tree..... It had one of those old fashioned bells on it.... I went right up and did a *ring ring*!
The person I was with said what was that for? I just smiled and said nothing.... But that was for my sobriety today.
