Beach Barbecue Sober weekend - Weekenders 24 - 27 April 2020

to the Weekenders
We seem to have found ourselves with a fault on the yacht, at the moment.Â
There’s an island not far away, well set anchor and we can take the small motor boat with our provisions and diving/ snorkelling gear..
No worries for sleeping, there are  enough huts for us all.


With amenities inside (and excellent wi-fi)


Barbecue and picnic on the beachÂ
Anyone for a healthy pizza?


If this is your first weekend sober, or many, come join us for support and chat...as we know the weekends can be a struggle sometimes.
(Psst. We’re not just here to talk about the good stuff, if you’re struggling.....please shout out). (We’re here all week too!) Â

looks like a good place to be. Here is grey and raining. Weekends sober are slow, solitary and quiet.

Something to get our energy back, we have it in vegetarian and vegan also.

Cripes! I can post, yay!! Thanks for all the supportive messages, I really wanted to reply but least I can now so for that I am thankful. It has been a tough week folks, I am really surprised how much all this new world situation had gotten to me. I genuinely was scared for myself, my mind just crashed and a bit like the site was constantly glitching. Can’t say I am 100% now but I am in a better place for now.
I love the idea of a beach barbie Mags and the cabins look great. x

Thanks for the new thread Mags and well done on shotgun Captain.
I too struggled yesterday. I wanted to drink and couldn't really find a valid reason not to. My av decided I could blot out this next difficult year and emerge when this pandemic is hopefully better controlled next year. So it didn't even pretend it was going to just be a slip, it was a fully planned lets pass out for a year!
Alfie is struggling with being over walked and has gone lame. He needs to rest and I don't like walking without him. He is my little bit of support.
I tried to go shopping yesterday, the queue was approx an hour long and out in full sun so I went home. Gonna try again this morning.
Feeling sorry for myself, not spoken to anyone since Monday.
Take care all.

Captain, congratulations on shotgun!Â
Kaily, not talking to someone in real life can sometimes be a bonus! You wouldn’t believe how many times I wished Mr. Mags would just disappear! Thankfully, I haven’t got a patio!

Re: Beach Barbecue Sober weekend - Weekenders 24 - 27 April 2020

I’ve cancelled this year and put it down to experience.Â
Heck, I should be expert at that....all the wasted years I’ve had in the past!Â
So I’ll carry on at home this year and if things change, well that’s a bonus.Â

Not even on the phone Mags. I think soon I may start barking with Alfie.

MantaLady I’m pleased you’re in a better place.
A beach chill out is what we all need.

Kaily, I talk to my cats, I’m sure Alfie will listen to your every word. It has been known that I talk to myself too.Â
