Hang in happyhour! I'm feeling a bit off too, but I am committed to staying sober. Not necessarily committing to not killing someone (joking of course) 
but I am committing to staying sober this weekend. It feels harder when some of the people in my life are miserable and not supportive but I won't turn my power over to anyone or let anyone to dictate whether I remain sober or not. There are sabateurs (sic) out there. Recognizing them and not turning my decisions to them is imperative! So on that note, have a great Friday everyone! I'm staying sober no matter what!

I'm in for a sober weekend! After the week I had in Vegas avoiding drinking the urge is strong tonight but I will not give in. I came home and got right on here. I know doing so kept me from drinking. Thanks all!

Hi all! My birthday is Sunday and this year I'm giving myself the gift of Sobriety! I will be hanging out here a lot this weekend...reading, posting and playing in the arcade. Looking forward to a sober weekend with you all!

Hi Everyone.
This weekend will be filled with a little school work, rest, maybe a long walk, cooking, and enjoying the days off of work. I have 8 months sans alcohol today. However, the real treat is seeing that I have raised my grade from a C to a high B. Ya me! I was worried there for a bit.
It is nice to see that my life has taken on a focus of education and wholesome living. I love this, truly love it. Have a great weekend everyone!

Count me in. Unburdened by work, liberated from drunkenness, and free of hangovers....weekends are brilliant.
Reading thru the posts about Australia I'd like to add that living in New Zealand is at the top of my bucket list.

I'm definitely up for the sober weekend. Been home for eight days now off work. Back to work tomorrow, the bizarre schedule that I keep.
Found three Bud Lights (bottles) in the back of the fridge today earlier. Felt totally crazy throwing them in the garbage!
Happy weekend to all!

Great Job SnowDawg on the garbage toss. Very strong. To the others, keep it up. This is already feeling like the longest weekend ever, my mind won't be quiet. But I'm reminding myself, "just today." And I feel good about the effort I giving.

I'm in for another sober weekend. This one is gonna be tough. For some reason around the 30- something day mark (today at day 34) my will gets weaker even though I feel strong 95% of the time, it's that one quick 5% decision that always throws me off the balance beam.
Just because I think about a drink doesn't mean it ever has to be a reality. I want it to stay that way...

Thanks Skye
I think maybe around 30 days we start to forget how awful the last time we drank really was. I keep reminding myself that it was ONLY 37 days ago that I was certain death was imminent for me.
I made a promise to myself to live life to the fullest and make a definitive life change. Why would I ever consider screwing it up - not taking even the first sip is the only way to detour from hell on earth.
Here's to a sober weekend for all of us !
