Great work me 101! I am glad to read you are enjoying yourself. I am also glad you are planning ahead. What's the plan for this long weekend?

Congratulations me101 on getting through the weekend! Montreal is such a beautiful place... It sounds like you are using a lot of self talk to work through the urges to drink. Great idea to make a plan in advance to deal with payday on Friday. Massage and spa sound like a great reward for a month well done! Keep up the great work.

Hi everybody. Well it is Sunday night, and I made through the weekend. I am so happy that I did not have a drink on Friday. It came so close. So close, but I learned from it. I just came back from a wonderful day at Mount Royal here in Montreal 28 degrees sunny. It is a wonderful mountain/park. I had lunch my mom's then we took her dog and went to the park. I feel great today, but all day I was having, urges thoughts on how it would be nice to finish the day at a Terrasse have a drink. Then I think about everything, and I analyze myself out of it. It would not be good who am I kidding. Having supper, and a pop, or a glass of juice on the Terrasse would be just as good if not better. What I am worried about is that my thoughts are turning to gambling. Gambling and drinking go hand in hand for me. This weekend is a long weekend, and I have an extra day to control myself. The reason I am mentioning this that I know myself very well. Now that I started to think about it. All week it will get louder, and louder, and louder, until Friday with my pay POW I give in, But it is Sunday, and I see myself coming, and I have all week to prepare myself. I will need a plan A,B,C,D,E even Z if I need it. I think I will be o.k. Though. I have made progress, and I am looking for a weekend get away from the city for a couple of days. Where there is a spa, a message parlor etc. If I can achieve this. I will be very, very happy with myself. It will be month that I have not drank, and I come back from a relaxing weekend. Just thinking about it makes me really want to succeed. If anyone has any advice. Please let me know. Now I am about to eat corn on the cob that my mom gave me. Bless her 80 year old heart. Well that's it. Bye for now.
