Somewhat off topic, but I am really curious.
The posts dry up to a trickle on the weekend and then resume full speed on Monday.
Do the people who are active here during the week stay busy with other activities, family, etc over the weekend? Is the weekend less challenging to sobriety for some?
I find the weekend more challenging than the week. More free time, more time by myself at home with the PC. Mrs. BF is out doing things on the weekend, less good stuff on TV ( I watch a lot of Discovery Nat Geo and stuff and its all reruns on the weekends) I am much more inclined cable surf to channels and programs I don't need to be watching.
Anyway, just wondering.

yes it's like a morgue around here, which is odd considering quite a few people seem to relapse at the weekend. We were discussing this matter over at the Secular Circle just this week.

My guess is that many people are online more during the week for job/ school related tasks. We all know that posting is a great way to break up the work - much better than searching for P.

For me, its a combination of all of the above. Family keeps me busy at the weekend. At work it's easy to swing by the board for an occasional break to read and post. At home the computer is in full view of all and I don't want to logon while the kids are around. In the late evenings I'm tired and ready for bed. I swing by with my blackberry to read on weekends, but don't post with regularity. I think many others do the same.

My trouble has always been at work, so I post when I'm here. Home has always been my safe haven from porn, so I don't need to post there.
Also, I have shared with my wife that I'm an addict. I've also told her that I participate in a message board with fellow addicts. I just don't want her here. I don't want to share this part of my recovery with her, so I don't want to post while she's around.

I go away at the weekend; either to visit my parents, friends, or away somewhere new.
My work keeps me pretty busy during the week, but I live alone and don't really know many people in the area that I have just moved to, so I know it's a risky time to just sit around the apartment.
Hence, not many posts from me on the weekends.

Go out with work people, take trips, go to concerts, anything I can to occupy my time. I'm sort of like a 30 year old teenager these days since I'm now single. Last weekend I went club and bar hopping with a few friends from work. This weekend is probably going to be bowling and doing my last minute christmas shopping. Weekends are also when my worst P binges occur so I think it'd be best for me to get out of this depressing little apartment as much as possible. Oh and you meant where do the other forum members go on the weekends, hence less posting. So my comments are irrelevent being I'm new. whoops  |
