Coping without taking a drink

Now that it's the weekend I have to deal with the fact that I always use drinking to have "fun". I know God did not intend for us to only enjoy life while under the influence of some substance. That will be a challenge for me. I have used alcohol as a way to be more outgoing and social. I use it when I am bored and don't have an idea of how to entertain myself. I normally clean while drinking and listening to music. I loved drinking while cooking, and of course I would drink before sex lol   So now I have to get myself prepared for getting thru the weekend without feeling the need to have to drink for each and every single thing I do. We always go out to eat, and of course I have to order a long island. I call it my restaurant drink. Wine is not strong enough for me when I go out to eat. How do I just order a coke or something? I guess i will have to.  I tend to stay away from all restaurants that don't serve alcohol, like buffets. Normally I would be drinking right now and I have a strong craving to just drink, but I wont do it. It really sucks to feel you have to drink for absolutely no reason. I think I will over indulge on a 2 liter of soda and some icecream later
P.S. I work from home and even had to drink while working! Now work is really boring me while sober. I keep having to come back on here every once in a while
