    Hi all ,

    Three weeks ago i just came back from european holidays. I've been there for 3 weeks and visited UK, France, Germany and Poland. So 2 days before my trip even started i started to drink(quite heavily). I pretty much don't remember going to Singapore and then to London. I remember waking up on the plane when we landed in London. I started having withdrawals and then i had to go through UK immigration. I remember immigration officer was asking lots and lots of questions and i was so confused(withdrawals) that i remember telling myself just try to understand what is she asking and answer honestly!!! After 5 min of hell she let me in. It was like 9 am in the morning. After that i headed to the bar for three pints . I have spend 2 days in London with my friends(all of them drink quite a lot) and remembering almost nothing from it. Then i headed to Paris. I took Eurostar and the funny thing is i actually booked business class, but i was so hangovered that i have forgotten it and sat in economy. LOL!! Arrived in Paris and met my friends there. Again 2 days of very heavy drinking. After Paris i headed to Germany. In Germany DETOX( i just couldn't drink anymore). No drinking at all for 3 days. As you may realise i went through hell.I have stayed there at my auntie place who is also alcoholic(great person btw) so she helped me a lot.
    After Germany i've headed to Poland and then i told myself no more heavy stuff for me(from now on just beers). As you can imagin i have lots of heavy drinking friends in Poland, but i did ok. I haven't got really drunk, i remembered everything and most important no withdrawals!!! I've had great time in Poland.
    I'm back in Sydney for 3 weeks now. I haven't drank yet, although i got fridge full of booze. I still got my antabuse tablets which i don't take . I just don't feel like drinking.
    Every time i open the fridge and see beers smiling at me i just say nah.
    Its the first time i am 3 weeks AF without taking antabuse(with antabuse i've managed 6 months or so). Ok lets open the fridge and see whats there hehe

    I wish you all doing well. All the best.

    Netty, I am glad you are back safe.
    It sounds like what should have been a trip of a lifetime turned into a disaster.
    I am sorry to hear that. I hope you find your answer soon my friend.

      G'day Netty.
      Welcome back, and glad you are safe. So you have gone these last 3 weeks, not wanting a drink? Cool. It's all in our thinking, don't you reckon? We must change our thinking, and if you don't WANT a drink, instead of not drinking through willpower the last few weeks, then that's your thinking shifting. Hang on to those thoughts!
      Best wishes..........

        Startingover, no it did not turn into disaster, but it very easily could. Im glad i have detoxed in Germany otherwise it would be a disaster. It was actually one of the best times of my life.

        Guitarista thats true. I just dont feel like drinking. I actually sometimes open a beer, but then i put it away as i really just dont feel like it.
        I really believe i am on the way to the permanent recovery. I feel very strong and very happy that i can manage my drinking without taking antabuse. If you knew the amounts i was drinking one year ago and the amounts i am drinking now(except this 5 days of heavy drinking on my holidays) you would notice a difference. I am very positive now.
