3 day holiday weekend coming how do you plan to stay sober

I'll start it off, this weekend, I have many meetings planned. I will attend a meeting at least once a day, and if time provides twice a day. I have a list of chores to complete, and phone numbers by the phone in case I need need them in an emergency.

Additionally, I intend on spending much of my time on this website reading forums and helping who I can.

As always my friends. stay safe and sober. Please have a plan for the long weekend and thanks for reading.

Thanks for sharing. This one makes me nervous. I'm 17 days sober but the summer heat is making me jones hardcore. All this and we are selling our house looking for a new one. Not sure why I felt this was a good time to cut out the drinking. But will be checking the boards this weekend.

On Friday morning I'm running a race that I've trained really hard for. Then I am spending the rest of the day with my kids, who will also be around other people's kids, and it is in everyone's best interest that I not be under the influence. So there ya go.

On Saturday and Sunday I will be out in the sunshine and posting here as time allows. Spending more time with my kids too.

For anyone not doing those things, I'm not sure what the answer would be, but I think you have a really good plan, TDG! Meetings and SR seem to be effective for a lot of people here.

I'm going to do some washing , clean my room , maybe watch a film or two . I also have a new peter hamilton book to read .
It's 27 c in the UK this weekend so i'm going to not do anything much physically challenging .

Take it day by day or hour by hour if you need to , if your in the early days there will be other bank holidays to go out and enjoy when you sobriety builds some strength , treat it all with some wary respect and do the right thing ,
take care , m
