I'm 3 and a half weeks in, all fine during the week, positive...weekend comes along, and I'm as grumpy as a VERY grumpy sober person...sheesh, I'm hard to live with at the moment.

Anyway...short vent, not well aimed, and pretty unconstructive...

What keeps you sober and positive during the week?

What is different to you about the weekends?

Hey CokietheClown, I'm struggling today. Unplanned, I did something I haven't done since I've been sober. It reminded me of the last time I did this activity while drunk, which turned into a train wreck. This made me happy I'm sober and took the edge off today's struggle.

My bad moods get less frequent the longer I'm sober.

For me weekends were all about getting smashed, so understandably take away drinking and I was left with plenty of time on my hands and alone with my thoughts, which usually involved things like I was missing out and other people are having all the fun!!

So instead we need to plan new activities, new things to do, Sober people can and do enjoy their weekends, alcohol I realised is not the centre of the universe or the root of all fun to be had!!

Great job on your Sober time!!

Congratulations on your sober time! I'm the same as you, much better during the week. I think it's because my time during the week is very structured from 7 a.m.-4:30 p.m., and I have a lot of positive distractions with work. The unstructured time on the weekends when I am in the house with my husband and kids is more difficult for me to manage. When winter comes, we will spend full days skiing, so I'm looking forward to that! In the meantime, I guess all we can do is stay busy and hope it passes.
