Keeping Busy on the Weekend

Hi Friends:
 
I've got 12 days today. Feel great! Spent the weekend essentially online with sober friends. (Except for Saturday night's Birthday Dinner) Found another cool site like this one, but more focused on AA. May not be for everyone but it sure is making a difference in me! But I'm a newbie still and look forward to reading everyones' strengths hopes and experiences here. You all help me very very much and are important to me.
 
Have a super sober day, friends,
 
Tallone.

Way to go, Patsyelle!  Since I stopped my bad routine, it does seem like I have much more time on my hands...and thinking what on earth to do to keep busy and distract myself from cravings. Taking time to think about and plan strategies to keep busy has really worked for me - with consideration to both old favorite activities and new ones...and also gives me incentive for (re)creating the life I wish for. :-) Keep it up!

Good for you Patsyelle. Keep up the good work and stay busy. Cravings do diminish. I am into sailing also. Where do you sail?

Great work!
 
Those hobbies sound very rewarding.  Especially in this nice weather!

I took Ashley's advice about weekend activities.  Saturday I got involved at my boat club helping to get the sailboats ready for the junior sailing school.  It was fun and rewarding. Today I've been busy in the garden, weeding and planting.  I have not had a drink for 7 days now and already the cravings have diminished.
Happy Victoria Day
Patsyelle
