Looking for some advice/recommendations from those of you who may have a similar situation...
I have been traveling out of town for work every week for the last 7 months. I am with the same group of people every week, and the routine is to have drinks and dinner every evening that we are together. Needless to say, this is not an ideal situation for someone who is trying to become AF!
Occasionally, I will decline and just hang out in my hotel room and order room service for dinner (with no alcohol) and I feel great the next day!
I guess what makes me uncomfortable is dealing with the 'pressure' of being around others who are drinking; however, I am also uncomfortable with what others will be thinking when I start ordering iced teas (unsweetened!) with my meals. Well, he must have a problem if he's staying away from alcohol..
Is this crazy thinking? I know I shouldn't be concerned about what others are thinking but that would take lots of re-programming after many years of feeling insecure, inferior, and 'different'.
