My first (intentionally) sober weekend so far

Well, this is the first time in a long time i’ve been sober on a Friday night where i could have instead been drinking all night and it hasn’t been easy and i likely wouldn’t have made it through tonight without my fiancè being here with me. We went to the movies tonight and even though i was initially having thoughts about how much i wish i was going to the bar instead i did end up enjoying the movie (we saw the new Bad Boys!) and we enjoyed a movie date on a Friday night where i wasn’t drunk so i count this as a win. Now, i just hope to get through tonight cause Saturday was my main day for binge drinking for many years

Congratulations! Wishing you strength and will, instead of hope as it works a lot better, for Saturday!

Meetings made my life easier and my days go quicker. And they helped me grow my sobriety, as opposed to just hanging on by willpower and trying to distract myself.

Congrats on your first weekend sober!!! :slightly_smiling_face:
I too was scared of the weekend and not drinking. 32 days later, I have started to enjoy my Fridays a lot more. I can actually remember what was said and done!!
