Me too.

I did all inclusive in September.

Did not drink a drop.

I just told myself that I was there to have a great time with my family and that drinking would spoil it. I was also there to relax and re-energise myself. Drinking at every opportunity would not help be feel good when I returned from holiday.

I did watch and notice other drinkers which I think helped.

No-one seemed to be blackout drunk like I used to get! Most had a couple. So it confirmed what I knew really!

There was one couple, man and his wife, who everyday sat at the same table from the same time in the morning until the same time at night. They never, ever moved. Their table (right next to the bar) became overflowing with pint glasses and cigarette ends. It made me feel quite sick looking at it to be honest. I am glad my holiday was not spent like that.

I also did not stay in the hotel all the time. I found getting out for a walk made me feel less like an animal in a compound.

It was honestly not as hard as I thought it was going to be I promise.
