So nice to be up early on a Saturday instead of sick on the couch! No misery or regrets or shame! It's going to be in the 60's today in NY (sweet!) and there is no way I'm going to spoil that with booze. I've found that drinking is such a major waste of time. I'm going to be way too busy for that!
Happy sober Saturday ya'll!!!

Wish I'd found this thread sooner, I was really struggling yesterday. This is my third sober weekend and I'm getting through it. Congrats to everyone else out there, glad to hear everyone's keeping busy!
PS- Those recipes for cauliflower are making me hungry and it's 7am where I am. Breakfast cauliflower?

hey 3daysfree ,
i suffered from "phantom hangovers" until i realised most normal people call it having a rough day and feeling a bit "off" … or maybe you just have a headache ?
I've read about peoples eyesight getting better after getting sober so might be worth getting them checked out ..
drink some water as it helps flush your body and keeps you hydrated , sometimes i forget and get a bit poundy headed ..

Morning Weekenders,
Checking in. Ready for this sober weekend. Helping my x move out today and fixing some stuff at her new place. This feels good. She has a good home now and can start a new life. But, yarrrr, so much stuff. This will take the whole week. lol
3daysfree, Gatorade (sports drink) and mufti-vitamins where very helpful for detoxing in my case. Hang tough. hug
Cheers,
Cas

Was feeling "itchy" and edgy this morning when I woke at 6:30. This is my first sober weekend in three months. But, I dragged myself to my 8 a.m. meeting, got some ribbing from the guys I know about where I've been, was honest about relapsing and now feel much better. Hungry though. Making bacon and eggs for me and the kids. I wish bacon cooked faster.
Then I will nag kids about cleaning their mess and call my mother to get together with her.

Hi all! Just checking in, finished my volunteer shift, it went well, I bought new Christmas stockings for my family Now I just want to stay home and be lazy. However, I made plans to go out bowling but I am so tempted to cancel them and just cuddle up at home for tonight...

I think this is my... 3rd weekend sober now... I think I'm coming down with something so I'm trying to take care of myself to prevent any cold/flu- it's interesting actually "taking care" of myself now- three weeks ago I would have gone to the liquor store to get some whiskey and get myself drunk to feel better. So dumb.

Everyone is AWESOME for staying sober this weekend!
I went to an AA meeting this morning, and need to do some work around the house this afternoon.
I hope the rest of your Saturday carries on to a fantastic Sunday!

I cancelled my bowling plans for tonight. I am just going to stay in and take it easy. The graduate program I am in is very intense and draining. I need this time to recharge my batteries. I need to be kind to myself. I can't drink to numb my perception of stress and fatigue anymore. I need to address those feelings and take actions to change them. Wow, being sober sure makes me feel like an adult!

It'll my first sober weekend in months. Day 6 for me! Feeling great physically. Emotions have been kicking my a$$ every time loneliness creeps up on me. Luckily, my daughter is with me on weekends! Loneliness won't be an issue so I'm hoping my AV keeps it's mouth shut for the whole weekend. Feeling positive. Not looking forward to her return home. Then I'll be alone again with my cravings.

It has been dark and gloomy here all day. My AV was whispering about how "cozy" it would be to settle in with a glass of wine, but I just fixed myself a nice, big cup of Chai tea, instead. I have two favorite mugs that I am the only one allowed to use and they feel special and cozy to me.
