I'm in. A bit nervous as this is my 3rd sober weekend but the first one that I'll actually be leaving the house, lol. Going up to Boston... not too many temptations but I will be around people drinking (not in a bar thankfully) and I know I'll feel the temptation to hit one of the college bars but I feel confident that I won't give in.
Happy Friday!

Excellent Alysheba! Not sure what games I'm watching this weekend. Still a bit deflated by the G Men losing Sunday, but a win this weekend should get them on track. Also a win by Michigan over UConn will get the weekend off to a good start.

Will be weekend number 2 for me.out with friends tomorrow which would normally entail lots of beer and wine but I am determined to change my persona and be someone different. The old me was beginning to bore me!
I'm in too! Have never made it through a complete weekend sober. Trying for my first.
Youngest son's 17th birthday is today. 17 years ago the labor was so fast that he arrived in the car, on the way to the hospital. Now that was an adrenaline rush!
Hope to get through it today remembering what happened. Couldn't tell you what happened last night or the night before. I'm so sick of this I hate it. Is it making me depressed? Can't feel enthusiastic about anything right now. At about 4pm the voice will start calling....
Any ideas?

I'm in for my 3rd weekend!
Fridays and Saturdays had become my "reward" nights during those times I managed to stick to drinking weekends only. Reward for getting through the work week, and because I didn't have to worry about getting up early the next morning. (Too many times I couldn't get up all day)
So now I'm left with that automatic feeling of anticipation which hasn't quite gone away yet. Signing on for extra insurance!

Hey y'all ,
I'm back from work . My colleauges were going down the pub to celebrate one leaving to go to a wonderful new job , i took some of them down in the car , organized the card and spent a week getting the signatures of everyone sorted , but i skipped the pub .
Gotta do whats right for me and sitting round with a load of people abusing alcohol just isn't my kinda thing .. even if they are nice people .. so i came home and am planning my spectacular musical event tomorow
There isn't huge temptation but to even get into a sitation where i'd feel tempted i'd see as something i don't want to put myself through .
Cas that place looks beutiful and the fishing sounds lovely
Happy birthday Oldself
Hey Clemence nice to see you posting , catering is a high pressure enviroment, I hope you learn healthier ways to calm down after a shift .
Hey lommey join in the weekend thread whenever you want to say hello if you're lonely, most people who are lonely get sociable hobbies , i know NI can be quite rural but there must be some things to do , or if not then maybe organise something ?
Ken , i'm sure it will be a cakewalk for you ..
Happyhour you're a star , keep on working it ..

Thx Mecanix! U Da man!
I actually went to a colkeague's leaving drinks last night. I debated whether to go and decided to "release myself back into the wild". I didn't drink and didn't feel tempted. However observing my colleagues necking back drink after drink was quite an eye opener (in my drinking days I would have been leading the pack). I'm sure some of them woke up regrets this morning.....especially the PA that professed her dying love for me after many many strong cocktails. Lol
