The weekend is here. I am not even trying to go out for New Years, nor do I want to. But because its Friday and I’m home, I want a drink. Hoping if I tell someone that I’ll hold myself accountable since no one else knows I’m trying not to drink. I keep chugging water hoping it will help. I want to make it through this weekend without binge drinking again.

You can do this! Eat something sugary, listen to some music, have a bath. Do something nice for yourself! Reward and distraction. Think how happy you will be in the morning if you don’t cave tonight x
Drink something carbonated even if it’s just club soda. Bubbly, filling and helps me with cravings.
drink soda water or club soda that helps me! stay busy, baths, tea, movies, hobbies? Distract yourself! you can do this! You need to tell someone so your not alone through this you really need the support on your side! stay strong!
I don’t want to let anyone down again if I don’t make it. So instead of making promises I’m not sure about, I’m just going to try on my own and hope this time will be different. I’ve done other things this time that I didn’t do before. Plus, I really want it this time. Not sure if I really wanted to quit before. But I do now. And Friday os usually my binge night. Just gotta make it through tonight!

Definitely find something else to keep you occupied. Like everyone else is suggesting, drink some soda or something sugary. Stay sober tonight. You can do this and you’ll be glad you decided not to drink tomorrow.

You not alone, please dont…
I stayed sober all night! I’m fighting a little bit today with cravings, but so far so good. I am planning on baking banana bread with my kids tonight and finger paint. Just need to stay busy! But I’m very happy with myself that I didn’t drink!

Don’t try to do this on your own. If you really want it this time tell someone in your real life so you have support
Great plan!!! I cooked a mountain of beef and bean tacos with all the condiments. Kept me busy 
I am so happy I stayed sober for my little boy. Watching my hubby and my Dad get drunk through his eyes was pretty sad. He has even started to comment "dad, have you had 20 beers?’. We went for a night swim (we are on holidays). Watched fireworks at 9 ate ice cream and went straight to bed 
I know we are doing this for ourselves, but last night showed me that we are absolutely doing it for our kids too. ️

If you like tea, an amazing way to curb your cravings is brewin tea…try something for relaxation. The Yogi brand tea has some very good options
