You haven't alienated me Mera--I'd still like to be your friend.
You are in a tough spot right now--but you can get through it.
Sounds like you are taking some great proactive steps.
I want to encourage you to follow up on the rowing.
I think the group activity and exercise would be a terrific way
to get out and among people in a non-drinking environment.
Besides, rowing on a lake in Pisa? I imagine it would be so beautiful.
Can you post a photo of it when you go to check it out?
I enjoy seeing where you live.
Such a beautiful part of the world.
