Had a very draining weekend. Surrounded by drinking and drinkers. I'm not going to say it's been easy and I definitely have had moments where my AV has been working overtime to pusuade me to join in.
I didn't though and I learned some good coping skills to stay sober.
Off to Ireland at the weekend where will be surrounded by drinking again. But I do get to meet my baby nephew for the first time and my sister in law won't be drinking loads so least will be in good company.
The thing I found hardest was when I drink I can carry on until the early hours. Sober I was so tired. But obviously had to stay awake as it was my house.
