weekenders come join in the weekend thread 8th 9th &10th of november 2013
Hey y'all ,
It's only me . Another weekend is upon us.
Today is friday , my first day of stand-by … I used to know i was in trouble when i started drinking occasionally when i was meant to be ready for a call out . The job hunt and networking progresses slowly , but i know i'm worth a decent amount to someone out there .
So lets show the newbies what a sober weekend looks and feels like those of us with some time , Let's give people something to read .
Newbies post to get involved . If your struggling to get through the weekend we all know what it's like , come join us tell us how you plan to deal with the up's, downs and wild ride it is at the beginning of recovery
Let's get this show on the road *ring ring*
Bestwishes, m

Nice Dee ,
Amazing how many of my old colleagues are in Straliya , Perth must be like england in the sunshine there are so many brits there . It seems moving to france and getting drunk for 4 years wasn't the career opportunity i thought it was . Now i'm too old to come live with you guys and have missed the boom
I think the Au government wouldn't mind me coming to work there for a few years though as long as i went back home . If anything happened to mum i'd certainly consider coming to see your great country and do some quality engineering if they'd let me, to subsidise my travels
Bestwishes, m

Keep on lommey,
i rediscovered some of my hobbies and interests i had before drinking took over as the soul sucking one .I've also found some new ones
It took some time though, sometimes i had only enough energy to sit in bed and read SR and surf the net all weekend . It wasn't drinking though and thats what counted with time things got better ..

mecanix, it's nice to know that things get better! I do notice more of a feeling of depression on the weekends but I'm already planning on heading to a couple meetings & church to keep me on track... and exercise! Through my attempts at sobriety these past two months I've already gained some "recovery weight" lol.

Hi. Heading for my first weekend sober in a long time. I plan to work all weekend. There is much to be done and the more I can focus on something, the less the constant chatter that goes on in my head. I've set up my weekend to have minimal responsibilities, so I can work, eat, sleep, and not worry about anything else. Glad to be here with you all (and glad to admit it). Have a great weekend!

Hi Mecanix my young Pommie friend, another Aussie pal of yours here.
*ring ring* I work Saturdays and have Sunday and Monday off but I regard Saturday as part of the weekend anyway. I'm looking forward to lunch with a friend on Sunday and a good weekend in the rest of the time. We have very heavy rain predicted which is really welcome as it's been dry for months. I plan some bread baking, more chocolate making for Christmas (chili and lemongrass!), reading, oiling the deck furniture and going to a movie and an art show.
*ring ring* Best thing? Waking up early and hangover free so I enjoy it all. Have a good one!

Ready to sign in for my 10th sober weekend in a row!
This one will be a bit rough because I have a huge assignment to complete, but at least I know that I will complete it by staying sober and I will feel so good when it is all done.
Just going to pace myself with this project and try to fit in a movie with my Dad and a women's self-defense class I signed up for with my friend weeks ago.

I'm strapping myself in tight this weekend.
I'm afraid I have been absent from the last 10 weekend threads and it is also fair to say those last 10 weekends were worthless...... lost mornings to a stinking hangover, rushed days to sit comfortably with a bottle of an evening. Who was I kidding when I thought it would be a good idea to take that first drink.

Dorris... So glad to see you here. Stay close!
And everyone... So many repeat weekend customers. The best deal around is right here! All the support you can get at a reasonable price... Just ask!
Me? Well... I have been floating a bit these last few weeks with so much change. Floating over top of the reactions that used to be in favor of what I want them to be. Nothing has been easy but nothing has taken me down either.
So... I need you folks this weekend. I want to hear from you!
