Amp, I went to Egypt years ago with a friend, at that time I was controlling my drinking, but she had a problem she hadn't acknowledged ( or realised) on a couple of occasions we had to go to some dodgy places to buy bottles of rotgut just to see her through. After the holiday she accepted that she had a problem, went into a clinic and has been sober since. She was the absolute last person anyone who knew her, would have thought would manage to sober up, now she has a job,moans her house, retook her driving licence and has a car and works with people in recovery. She is my role model and my hero. She proved to me that anyone can do anything if it matters enough to them.
Angd, good luck with your tests and results. Being sober will help you to deal so much better with whatever news they hold.mand remember we are all here rooting for you.
I hope you all have good, sober weekend plans xx
