Good Morning from the Pacific Northwest!

Looks like a nice rain storm for this weekend! (I love a good rain storm. ) I will stay inside and do some slow cooking, painting and movie watching!
Hope everyone has a fabulous, sober weekend!

Although I began avoiding wine on aug 19, this will only be my second weekend free of alcohol.
I am getting it figured out..... looking forward to a really pleasant weekend!!

I'm new and this will be my first weekend sober for goodness knows how long. This thread is a great idea and I'm sure I'm gonna be contributing.
Tomorrow(Saturday) night is gonna be the killer for me and will be my first real test, as I've been recovering from last weekend's binge this week and haven't got the craving yet.
Thankfully I'm going to a meeting tomorrow night.
Hope everyone has a good weekend xxx

Hello y'all!

I am ready to kick off my 3rd sober weekend in a row! Woohoo! So many of my class assignments are due tonight at midnight so I have something to keep my mind occupied when they typical weekend cravings kick in. Will have to come up with a plan for the rest of the weekend but I feel like I will be safe from temptation for tonight

been awhile since I had to think how to get through the week-end without a 'pick-me-up'....but hopefully if this rain EVER lets up I'll hit the drive-in tonight, tomorrow will be searching for a good novel...and I've not thought ahead enough to Sunday....

Count me in. I'll be spending the weekend involved in house remodeling plans and finishing a memoir I'm reading.

I'm in.

At nearly 16 months but timely for a reminder of how great it is not drinking.

Interstate and catching up with old mate for grand final day. In the old days they were huge drink sessions but taking the family and have a plan

Good luck everyone.

Friday night! I'm in with you folks; 3rd sober weekend, yay! Everyone who has decided to join in, good for you, as it is a wonderful way to round out the month.

Now that it's officially fall, I'm looking forward to my mind being clear to enjoy the beautiful colors only autumn can bring to nature. Also, once the weather chills a bit more, I'll be replacing my herbal tea with Chai Tea w/milk. If you haven't tried it, I recommend it. I think of it as like grown-up hot (or cold) chocolate.

Love and positive energy to all of ya!

Blessed be,
Kuroi

** ring ring ** like crazy weekend peeps. I'm bushed from a long week of work, many 12 hour days, but who cares? I'm sober and it's an honest tired. The leaves are changing here and the nights are cool with warm sun in the day. Favorite time of the year. A peaceful, sober weekend to everyone.

M, thanks for getting us started. Sweet dreams.
Kuroi, welcome to SR Minnesota peep!
Amanda, Happy BDay!!!!

Cheers,
Cas
