I work every second weekend so it keeps my mind off of drinking for the most part but the weekends I am off I have a hard time staying away from the bottle! This is my first weekend off without any alcohol and im struggling a bit

Reinforce your values. What matters to you?? Write them out. Remember what matters and plan your next moves to go create/grow/embody what u value.
Don’t just stay “busy”… go towards what matters🤍

Any hobbies?
You don’t have to drink even when you want to 
Weekends are toughest for me as well. I try to keep busy or read a lot.
I’d go to lots of AA meetings and get involved my program.
Just a thought 
Hit some extra meeting or chill in meetings on zoom (search online aa meetings). Everyone is so kind and there to support. Use the fellowship 
I am 35 days sober and yes it's hard but as long you stay connected plan a meeting also talk to other alcoholics, and don't so hard on yourself. It's possible and worth it.. you can this
I joined PF for $25 a month and it definitely helps
It helps me sometimes to get out of the house. It's difficult where I live, but I do my best to avoid going past liquor stores. I love being outside (parks, etc.) but lately, since it's cold and snowy here, I'll go to an arcade or a mall. I'm not good at arcade stuff, but I amuse myself with pinball for an hour. It's inexpensive and there's no booze there. Keep moving forward!

Try Vivitrol shots, they help with alcohol cravings and obsession
The weekend is hard take away people places and things l spend a lot of time laying around so l understand
First sober weekends are hard because the routine changes. Try adding structure on purpose… even small plans. Idle time is loud.
It doesn’t have to be a perfect weekend. Just a sober one. The first one is the toughest. You’ve got this.
