So tell your head to shut up and listen to your heart. You came here. You don’t want to drink. Monday will never come you know. Hang with us instead. Together we can do this friend. Success.

Congratulations to all of you for taking the first step! Weekends are tough, I agree. But it gets easier with time. You’ll need some strategy or a plan though, in case it gets bumpy. Have you thought about what you want to do, when it gets rough?

When the wolf is at your mind’s door, remember he’s a crafty SOB! He knows how to get inside your head, but don’t let him in!
Sending us all strength!!

Friday’s are absolutely the worst. But waking up Saturday and being productive is the best. Find something to do to distract you tonight.

I just blacked out over the weekend and spent all week paranoid about what I could have done or said. I regret few things in life but drinking last weekend is one. I assume you will too.

I feel exactly what your going thru. This is the first friday in months without alcohol.
I just keep reminding myself of the cons that i had listed over the past week on what happens when i do drink.
Its not easy.

It’s my first Friday too. It’s been super hard not to just do it especially after a super hard work day. I’m 4 days in and the only thing that keeps me from drinking is knowing that if I don’t I’ll finally have a Saturday I didn’t piss away in bed feeling like death and then drinking again to get rid of the hangover and on and on. But regardless I know how you feel and it’s just really hard not to use the easy escape.

Yea, it makes feel like your stuck in a hamsters wheel. Yea, i had a great positive day at work. Usually im like lets go out and have fun. We went to dinner then they went out i came home. Youre right though its super hard.
Hi, everyone
The weekends do get tough. Like someone else said. Make a plan. The sleeping early is such a good one. Getting good sleep if you are able to already is great. Getting an early morning start will feel amazing and will only motivate you that much more. A walk in the morning is great. Journal as well. Use the function here on the app if you don’t have a notebook. In a month from now when you go back and read it you will be amazed at the progress you have all made.
Remember 1 day at a time. (ODAAT)
