Weekend worries

Using Tina has become an every weekend habit for me. I want to quit but am worried about what happens when the first weekend comes around. What will I do when it's Friday night and the urge to PnP hits?

Reading your question makes me think right away of a friend of mine who had to take really drastic measures to stop using Tina, including leaving town. He's back now and doing well, and recently when we were chatting he told me that what he had to do to face weekends without Tina was to create a social calendar the likes of which he never had. Breakfast with a friend, lunch with another friend, dinner plans, movie plans, the gym, work, anything he could think of. One weekend at a time this seemed to get him through. That, combined with a treatment program and other aids has helped him a lot. This is by no means an expert suggestion but I know it helped with my friend's weekend worries. Good luck
