One of the most gorgeous places I've ever been.

I agree, the most gorgeous place.
Knowing about the insane prices for alcohol, I smuggled wine in plastic bottles)
Though somehow I managed to have just 2 glasses per night sitting on the porch of my bungalo and watching the ocean waves.
Gosh, I miss this place.

If you are still drinking, what is it that you are hoping will happen?
It's a decision, a commitment to fix my life, and then follow-through by not picking up a drink no matter what.

Well that's a good thing cos we need a cute chick with a crown....gosh that picture makes me smile love......
Off topic. I am extremely naive. And I get so SHOCKED....constantly. NO idea whether this is a childish trait that I am hanging onto to protect me, or just who I am....and my way of holding onto all that is good, always.
Hmm.
Off to shower and contemplate.

Welcome to Weekenders ChickChick!
Good to see you DarklingSong. You do not have to have quit to join Weekenders but hopefully you will do. Lots of support here.
VMan thank you for those fantastic pics, they are making me feel nostalgic. Marvellous. €80 for 40 minutes is pricey but not obscene if it is for two people - especially compared with the prices for food and drink.

Trying this sober thing again! Weekends are my weakness....work hard taking care of the kids and household during the week....come Friday Saturday and Sunday...I want to get drunk at home to escape!?!. But I can't continue to go on like this..and hurt the ones I love! I have no motivation right now....but I know I have to do something other than drink!

Sorry for my last post. This probably wasn't the place for it.

Welcome to Weekenders Newme, you can do this.
Your post was totally appropriate DarklingSong. Congratulations on a months sobriety!
We are a minute or two away from Star Wars day here but i'm off to bed.

Morning, weekenders.
Newme - Welcome to the thread!
DarklingSong - Congrats on 1 month sober!
Venus - I am as naive as it gets. It often backfires, but at the same time it allows me to connect with my inner child. And if to choose between being naive and cynical, I am choosing naive all day long.
I am having an emotional meltdown with self-beating thoughts that I am no good.
Recently I've been working on my own project a lot and I am at the stage of the "belly of the beast" when there is only work and no results of light at the end of the tunnel. And I am doubting myself all the way.
It's tough.
Thank you, weekenders, for being here.
