Not a moan at all. That would be really hard. The shops sort of saved my sanity on that first sober hol. That's actually when I discovered shopping as a substitute Found myself looking seriously at a 5000 yoyo ring at one stage FFS - insanity or wot:H
Did you stay off the grog for the whole week?
When I was in rehab I identified holidays as being a HUGE trigger for me -- I know I'd be alright now - well as far as I CAN know - that's why I sent Jilly my holiday money this year so she could come over instead of us going there. The fact I'm going in January feels like the next stage of all this - so that's good. Don't be worrying about Australia - but I do think mebbe if you COULD talk to hubbie beforehand about what way you're gonna handle it, I do think you'll need a wee bit of support??

No I did not stay off the grog. I knew i would have a drink
Holidays are my big trigger now that I can't fix yet. Will want all your advice you got in rehab on how to cope.
Our holiday starts as soon as we hit he airport FFS

mollyka;1388764 wrote: Well - buggered if I'm the right one for advice - but I do feel you have to be absolutely determined 100% what way you want to handle it - any indecision - and that's it really. If you decide you WILL have a drink - well then - make a plan of how much - how often - and endeavour to stick to that. If you decide you won't --- well then it just has to be 100%.
It depends on how you feel about your drinking really. I was 'moderating' the year before last when I went to Canada. Because I hadn't been drinking for a good long while before I went (can't remember - prolly about 4 or 5 months) - the booze went straight to my head - so even tho the 'appearance' was moderating (I was getting blasted on about 3 glasses of wine) - the 'inside' part of me wasn't moderating at all - I was drinking as much as I had needed back in the black days when I was shovelling away the grog to get hammered. By the end of the 3 weeks the 'sneaky' had crept back in tho - cos my tolerance levels had risen from 3 weeks of daily drinking. Went for a swim one of the last days when Joe decided to have a snooze instead, and on my way back up from the pool, I snuck into the bar and had a crafty large glass on the sly ---- DING DONG MERRILY FROM ON HIGH --- bells shoulda been clanging -- the duty-free bottle of vodka was also tippled into by then -- but 'ah sure, I'm on holidays and it's only one bottle over 3 weeks' came into play, and when I came home -- that's when things started escalating - so that was just my experience.
Whatever you decide - make it something YOU feel is ok for you - not anyone else - and stick to it. If you decide to stay AF between now and then you will prolly find yourself in a much stronger headspace by then tho:l

Thanks Mollers. That is EXACTLY what I intend doing now till December.
Your Canada experience is how I see my 3 weeks in Oz going and it scares me shitless :upset:

D'yaknow - I never go over there to that meeting without comin out feeling better! Met a few folks I know - including a lovely man who's a Dad of one of Joey's pals - Joe and himself went out on their bikes together last week - he's a dote - it's funny when real life overlaps into the alkie world really!

That's great Molls - I was the same at weightwatchers - great meeting new people with same problems I suppose ?
can just anyone turn up ? or do you have to 'come out' as an alco ?
Just asking - what's the criteria for membership
