Geeze....Good luck with that endeavor!! Just tell everyone that you don't want to drink anymore! If they love you; they will understand!

If you are not an alcoholic you should be able to make it through the week no problem, and not even think about it. Why not ask your friends over for a girly night, hire some movies, get some snacks and munchies and make everyone hot chocolate. Take up a sport or hobby, read books, learn to cook for your family. I gave up drinking years ago, and still have fun with my friends when we go out, once you stop associating getting drunk with having fun, you will find it easier. And you'll also realise that getting drunk just makes you look like a fool.

Sorry, but your best bet is to avoid the places and people that you drink with. You say you're not an alcoholic...OK,since I don't know all I can do is take your word or it.
But I wonder why you are so concerned about seeing if you go for just 7 days withing having a drink. About 15 years ago I just decided to stop drinking...and it wasn't unusual or me to go through a quart of Wild Turkey 101 in a single night. I know it sounds like a cliche but it is just a matter on commitment and will power because my friends still partied.

It will do your system good to go without drink for a week, try doing a detox plan, their are plenty of sites on the web which can help you do this, and trust me you will be amazed how much better you will feel, and then maybe you wont feel the need to drink as much, their is more to life than drink! you are here only once, this is not a dress rehearsal so do something positive!!!

Maybe get a second job, that will take up some extra time. I am thinking about doing the same thing. I get bored and drink myself silly...I just need to do something productive with my time. Sounds like the same goes for you.
Good luck dear!

Only drink liquids, nonalcoholic, for a week and that will cleanse your system. So whenever they ask you why you aren't drinking just say you are cleaning your body for a week. It's nice. Plus get tons of sleep and you will be feeling amazing. You'll feel refreshed and may or may not feel as though you need to drink all the time anymore. Good for you!

I gave up alcohol for lent one year (40 days) and that was the hardest thing I ever did. I read a lot of books and avoided certain friends. I also went to the gym a lot.
Its always nice to dry out for a while. You will feel much better.
Good Luck!!!

Good luck. As for things for you to do so as not to look like you're ditching your friends. If you have a job, voluntary for over-time. Gets you away from the booze, and gets you extra money at the same time.

Good luck in your decision i know you claim to not be an alchoholic so why do you even have to pose a question like this. it is my opinion you have a problem and should consider "AA" and also to broaden your horizons of non drinking friend. God bless.Peace
