Weekender Thread 09-12 November 2018
Hi There! 
I'd like to welcome anyone new to SR and new to this thread.
Weekends can be a tough time, and that's what this thread is about - support.
We also share bits and pieces of our lives and the things that are important to us, or make us laugh..anything that makes the journey a little easier
If you've never jumped into a weekender thread before - no time like today...do it now!

Feel like I’ve reached the big time now.
Thanks for the new thread Dee
One more work day and a 3 day weekend! Plan on a road trip to portland, some volunteer work on trails. And hopefully some lazy time with a good book.
Stay sober my friends

Thanks D.
I'm in for the weekend.
Kev I hope you do all that is necessary to remain sober. If you are feeling what you are feeling maybe it's time to add or change something to/in your plan (routine) Why not a new sponsor if that helps. Something new maybe, yoga, massage.. .
Can you not just consult with your GP... ?
Those thoughts in your head remember you control them and they don't control you.
Morning all

Friday night I’m invited for dinner at my dad’s and he’s a heavy drinker. I don’t feel like cancelling but I have to stick close to this place. Having a new sponsor might also help.

Good morning everyone.
Staying proactive seems to make such a key difference kev. You’re doing that in great form. What a good example.
A bit of fun as heading off soon for a long autumn weekend in the mountains. Have rented a wonderful cottage with a view. I have a date on the back deck with a cuppa or two. I also seem to be craving turkey leg!
Wishing all the best day. Gym time for now.

Friday night here. A quiet night at home. My SO is having a few beers after a tough week. I’m not. Good old water. And not even feeling like any temptation tonight which is a nice change after the last couple of weeks I must say
I’m off to bed soon, night everyone

Good morning, Thanks for the new thread Dee. Cold day today here in the 'peg. Remeberance day on Sunday, and a long weekend for me.
Hey Kev, I remember back in July or August, a few months before my two year soberversary, I had a bout of drinking thoughts. It lasted a few days and in the end I chalked it up to improper hydration. Seems once I drank a proper amount of water the AV shutup.

I think I need in on this. I’m only on day 2. My husband and I like to go out to dinner on weekends, and we always split a bottle of wine. Naturally, it doesn’t stop (or begin) there for me. So I’ll be having tea instead.
I hope I’m not cranky all weekend. I shouldve started this on a Monday so I’d have a few days to adjust by the weekend. But if I had decided to wait until next Monday to quit drinking, there’s a good chance it just wouldn’t happen.
