This morning, I'm off to the dentist, getting a wisdom tooth pulled.
not the best way to spend a Friday off from work.

On the plus side I dreamt up really good plan for some extra business a couple of nights ago and a few phonecalls made to prospective customers seem to confirm that it might actually be a go-er, fingers crossed.

Morning! It's Friday - the reason for this thread in the first place - making it through the weekend sober. If you are struggling or if you get that itch, come on back and post about it. As LBrain used to say, come here and ask for permission. 
Lots of times I see on the main forums people will say, "I didn't want to post about it, I knew you'd try to talk me out of it." Well, yeah. Just like we'd try to talk you out of walking out into traffic.
It took some time for that voice in my head to shut up about drinking. Now when it shows up I see it for the evil destroyer that it is.
Go to bed sober tonight. That was my goal in early days. The best part about going to bed sober is that Saturday is beautiful and good.
I'll take the soft option, thank you.

I'm in! My birthday is tomorrow and normally I would love to be drunk the whole weekend of my birthday lol. But I'm ready to start 24 being sober. My plan is to go to a state park on my birthday, finish up some homework, bike ride, and clean up my apartment which will make me feel better.
I look forward to hearing how your weekends go.

I had a drinking dream last night. I think it's been over two months since the last one. the focus of the dream was trying to hide my bottles, but I couldn't remember where they all were. Funny that I dream about hard liquor when my drink of choice was always beer.

My subconscious always went with symbolism. I would be trying to conceal a dead body.
I can't get over it! Why am I so dark? lol
Unrelated note.. I hate that I have waited until last day of vacation to want to do something that now I can't do because I'm waiting for mother to get back so that I can help her with whatever she needs...
I need to iron my uniforms. Haven't had to do so in a month!

I was suggesting you withhold info about your drinking when you go to the doctor.
Totally my fault!!

Had a strong drinking dream last night. For some reason I was living in a big house with my parents (who are divorced in real life), sister, and her family. There was a giant bottle of cheap white wine, and I got into it and got drunker than I could EVER get on a single bottle of wine in my drinking days. I remember struggling to walk around I my room and worrying about how I was going to hide the fact that I was drunk, or explain it away. I was completely cognizant of my year of sobriety which was now down the drain.
When I woke up in my own bed, the feeling of relief and happiness was almost overpowering.
