I agree with Myth - look around at what the town offers for you to do, sober.
Drinking on loneliness was kinda like adding gasoline ro the fire for me - I was still lonely, but now drunk as well and full of self pity.
Think past the immediate bluhend. You can get through these days away from home sober.
Imagine that achievement?
nothing is a substitute for knowing how hard I would party and celebrate being home
because you haven't tried another way yet?
