My first weekend with no alcohol in years

1

I stopped drinking 5 days ago I stopped smoking cigarettes & weed 28 days ago. This is my first weekend not drinking alcohol I kind of have craving but nothing serious :muscle:t5::muscle:t5::muscle:t5::muscle:t5:

I still get pretty antsy in the evenings, so I make a seltzer water with splash of cranberry over ice to sip on while I take a 10 minute timeout. That helps a lot. I think it’s more of the process of taking a timeout rather than drinking that helps me unwind and squash those cravings.

Keep it up!

Good job! An alcohol free weekend is truly a wonderful thing. You’ll wake up feeling great and ready to take on the day. You may accomplish a lot more this weekend than you have in the past. There are endless possibilities of what a sober weekend can bring. So many more meaningful activities to get involved in.

Thaanks I appreciate it, I really enjoy this app it has actually made quitting easy. Being able to talk to ppl that understand not being judged has made me powerful beyond measure. I don’t want to drink or smoke anything because I like who I am sober and despise you I am when I am not sober :muscle:t5::muscle:t5::muscle:t5::muscle:t5:

Well done you. Me too, I’m on day 3. Last night was odd, I felt out of place and didn’t know what to do with myself. But today I feel great and proud because I made it :grin:

Great first post, Steglon. Sadly, I relapsed totally yesterday - a ten hour binge and some serious injuries as a result.

Whatever you do with yourself, stay sober.

Life is so much more worth living with a clear head.

You’ll have cravings, alcohol is endlessly promoted and it seems that everyone enjoys partaking in the “fun”, and you’re a drunk lol.

Just ride the wave, paddle if you have too but don’t drink and drown.

Keep working it, life is unfathomably better sober in my experience
