Build the weekend plan before Friday starts making decisions for you.
A useful alcohol-free weekend plan removes avoidable decisions before Friday. Choose where you will be, what you will drink, how you will get home, who you can contact, and what you will do if a plan becomes uncomfortable. This quiz helps organize those choices around rest, connection, light structure, or a fresh experience.
Supportive connection
Whether confirming a low-pressure plan and a person to contact would reduce isolation.
Light structure
Whether a few time anchors, transportation choices, and prepared alternatives would reduce decision fatigue.
Fresh experience
Whether a specific alcohol-free activity can make the weekend feel active without relying on intensity.

Questions people ask first
What should I include in a sober weekend plan?
Include meals and nonalcoholic drinks, transportation, one or two realistic activities, a support contact, permission to leave, a backup plan, and enough unstructured rest that the weekend is not another endurance test.
What can I do on a weekend without alcohol?
Options include breakfast plans, exercise, a class, volunteering, a movie, a museum, a day trip, cooking, a meeting or peer-support activity, and time with people who respect the alcohol-free plan. Specificity matters more than novelty.
Is this a relapse-prevention or treatment plan?
No. It is a nonclinical weekend-planning tool. It does not assess risk, provide treatment, or replace a clinician, counselor, sponsor, peer group, emergency service, or individualized relapse-prevention plan.
Do I have to pay before answering the questions?
