A week of sweats, weird dreams, exhaustion, always hungry but sober and head clearing. Last night I played soccer and felt fitter than I have in two years. I was ready to quit my fav hobby recently. I am 42 and put it down to age etc. Ran about daft, scored a great goal and enjoyed myself. Was happy. Was more interested in others too. Today been tough, found myself alone and felt bored sad lonely panicky and tired. Managed through the day . Logged on here and saw a similar post from someone of same name struggling with Saturday blues. Sorry for long rant but It's good to express oneself, even if I am a Brit.

It gets better, the longer you are sober.

Weekends are going to take time to get used to, if like me they were spent drinking, new routines and old habits will take time to change.

We have a Weekender Thread for extra support, everyone is welcome!!

Hang in there. You can do this.

Try to not let yourself get:

Hungry

Tired

So any time you feel like drinking, just HALT ;-)

I know it's tough but hang in.

It gets easier, TomTom, I promise and the rewards of sobriety and a hundred fold, squared.

Many Brits here TomTom . We're glad you're with us to talk things over. It helps to know we aren't alone. Talking about my feelings here helped me to heal and move forward - everyone understood me and cared.

You sound positive and ready to have a better life - you will do this!
