Good morning weekenders!
gasp! I am out of bacon!
It is on my shopping list to make one of those great breakfast egg and cheese sandwiches on a toasted bagel, but today I will use turkey sausage.
good weather here for today, but the cold air is coming back and another spring snow storm?
I have a busy weekend, sobriety is the only option....looking forward to my kitchen sink, water, dishwasher and new granite...I have been without a kitchen for almost 3 months, but it was worth it...pictures forthcoming on whiners! ( sorry to repeat myself, but I cant help it, this has been a big project for me, I have saved and planned for years l couldnt put it together if I was drinking).

Congrats Miss Fandy! You have good taste I am sure.
Hmmm... Before I say that ... question... Do you own any Capodimonte? My mother had a tone and ones taste can be called into question should you have any tucked away. Lol

The second ring is that of the freedom bell , i'm ringing out for you , freedom is available to you in the here and now , free yourself from bondage , drop those ideas and attitudes that keep you stuck . Freedom is here, it's scary but its glorious . Take the leap of faith you won't regret it I haven't ..

In there like post-waterslide swimwear!
New sobriety challenge this weekend - I am traveling on my own. Gonna spend Friday night in a hotel, coming home Saturday. Ordinarily I would have my drinking pre-planned by this point, but instead I am ready for that AV. Or are we calling it cognitive dissonance now? No matter. Whatever name I give it, it's a liar, and I'm done with it's lies. I took a cloture vote, and there are no more debates. There is no longer a democracy in my head. I benevolently rule as Imperator.
Be well everyone.
And -Miss Fandy - it ain't a kitchen unless there is bacon in it!

Justadude... Welcome to SR and the weekender thread. Have any plans for this weekend? How do you plan to stay sober?
Feel free to checkin often as needed.
Any anyone else lurking... All are welcome. Weekends can be trying. Time is not always a friend to a drinker. But time with sober drinkers is!

Well I'm looking forward to my 4th weekend of sobriety, my longest stretch in a long time. I'm really glad I have found this group! What a positive bunch, much like the gratitude threads. That is really the feeling I am enjoying returning to my life, gratitude and a sense of hope, that things will be OK, even if they are not perfect.
On a side note, my 4 weeks will also be coming with a challenge- my wife is going to be out of town this weekend for the first time in my sobriety, and with the kids off to school....... In my drinking days, this could have meant a bender of historical proportions, that I would have been planning all week- and recovering from most of next week!
Is this thread meant to "kick off" the weekend, or will folks be posting back on how it's going?
have a great one, I know I will!

Hi all. I joined SR in Jan 2014 and only just discovered the weekend thread, obviously need to explore a bit more. Would love a sober weekend as I slipped last weekend while away at a conference, and weekends are the most challenging for me. Can I join in?

MnEman... The weekender thread starts Friday and goes the weekend as a place to check in and find a little extra help.
I had a hard time in the beginning with weekends and this has proved to be great support! Welcome! Check in often.
Welcome Adams!
GoldC hang in there. It will happen! It did for me!
Good to see you ladyB!
