Fear of the weekend

Happy Sunday… I am 6 days sober and was quite nervous going into my first weekend. Super proud of myself because it is Sunday morning and no hangover or regrets. I have been having many dreams about drinking and for 5 days woke up drenched in sweat. My husband brought home a handle of vodka yesterday morning and it was hard but I have been strong. Looking forward to a productive day and celebrating one week tomorrow. Stay strong friends

Congratulations! Making it through my first sober weekend was a REAL accomplishment. Keep it going, one day, one minute or one hour at a time by doing whatever it takes to stay sober.

Good morning, and so happy for you. Way to go staying strong, especially if husband still drinks. I know how hard it is, so be proud and keep working your plan​:pray::pray::muscle:t3::muscle:t3::heart:

First weekend and the next couple were definitely interesting as to the break in habitual drinking though satisfying once through
I love weekends and feeling great throughout now. I know in speaking to some drinking friends they are never as positive on Sat or Sun morning (or both) depending on their drink choices.
And the stories of the night before aren’t quite as interesting any longer. They actually sound kinda sad… same old same old…

Welcome! I’m glad the sweats and nightmares are going away, any discomfort can be a way for our tricky minds to get us to drink again. Here’s a thread that might interest you.

Well done Kirsten :confetti_ball:
Is your husband surportive in your recovery?
If so, you could ask him to keep the alcohol out of your sight for a while?
