Hi Dave and everyone
Cant explain why I have been out of touch, had feelings of malaise but for the last few days had a strong pull to come back online. I need ye
First of all I am still AF and am one week over the 6 months mark, which I am delighted about especially after the holiday in Turkey. I am very grateful to you all for the support i got from you all while I was there.
Looking back it was too soon for me to go away for 14 nights with 7 other people who drink, people who were used to me drinking and for both them and me it was hard at times to adjust to the fact i was not drinking this time. While things were said in jest for example 'its an awful waste of tonic water' I felt on the outside at times, but my stubborn streak would not give in.
Since I have come back I know I did enjoy some parts of the holiday, the weather, the food, read a few books and learnt ways to protect myself for future outings.
I know I cant continue on my own and I need a boost to get me out of this feeling of being stuck, and this is where I feel I will get it
Once again many thanks and happy posting
