Nearly caved in
I very nearly caved in today. :-( I know if I had bought a bottle if wine, I'd probably be finished it by now and looking for more. Classic binge drinker.
It saddens me to think that this is my reality - that I can't drink normally.
It's only my first sober weekend. ..will it always be this hard?
Netflix and coke zero it is!

Thanks for the support!
I guess I need to find hobbies to occupy my spare time. I'd love to get really fit but quite often I lack motivation. I've joined a gym so I guess I should put it to good use.
At the moment I spend time reading and socialising with friends. ( without alcohol!)
I feel like I'm tired a lot of the time at the moment so I'm usually in bed really early. Least I'm not tempted to go to bars if I'm tired!

My first Sober weekend sounded about the same, but after a while you'll start to do things on your weekends, it's not all about sitting indoors for the rest of your life, so there will be a point when you'll look forward to your weekends again, new activities, new interests away from alcohol, and with them for me came new people.
There's a whole wide world out there, and the universe does not revolve around alcohol!!

Again, I think you're doing great. You are spending time with a supportive friend, you've joined a gym and you are starting to deal with sitting with the feelings and learning how strong you really are.

My first sober weekend too. And I'm sitting around watching TV and drinking Coke zero, small world isn't it. I'm fine today but yesterday was tough, I was at work Friday beginning of a long holiday weekend. Everyone at work was discussing their plans what they were going to drink etc. I just kept quiet they don't know I quit Monday. I have a reputation of being the heaviest drinker there. Something I was once proud of and bragged about even though my health and relationship with my family was nothing to be proud of. But anyway it's now Saturday and I haven't drank yet and I am determined not to do so. And that is really something I am proud of , good luck to you.
