Alcoho Free Vacations?
 

(opps...I meant for this to be a new post, I will leave it up anyway ;-) After reading about one of our members going away on a vacation & being worried about all of the partying etc. (alcohol) I started to wonder what/if there are alternatives out there.

Has anyone been to an alcohol free resort or vacation?

Any thoughts or experiences that you would like to share?

I found this one site but was surprised that there didn't seem to be a lot of options.

Thanks for sharing.

NB

Be strong and be proud!!

Alarm bells are ringing baldjim! You are going to see a lot of the behaviour around you that you will subconciously identify with and this is going to cause all sorts of emotions, anger, sadness etc...watch for that and take time out to be by yourself whenever. Better to come back in 2 weeks and posting about how everyone thought you were a miserable **** than a yep im back at day one thread!

Luck won't help you for this IMO but i wish you it anyway:-)

hey Jim

Not gonna lie to you - Cyprus is a big ask this soon - but I hope to see you back here in 2 weeks still sober throughout.

Have a great break

May the God of your understanding keep you safe
and continue to lovingly guide you in your recovery.

i hope that you will carry a true message of sobriety
in your heart and in your all actions during this time.

Have a great time and don't forget to pray for help!!

Jim, you are in our/my prayers. I don't know what happened but it sounds devastating. Know this, you are not alone now and will not be so long as you stay in your recovery. We are all here for you. Don't know how this affects your vacation plans but I would reconsider them. From such emotional upheaval, going into a party environment could have even more devastating consequences. I would not offer this had I not seen and witnessed similar circumstances and results. I know it is easy to default to "now is a good time for a vacation", get away and process/decompress; yes, but maybe somewhere else less conducive to drinking.....:candle:

Jim i am not an alcoholic but you have helped me "get" an ex and I have read your threads in different forums.

I know you have suffered a lot through your life.

Alcohol is not a solution as you have seen.
If possible in your holiday, when they get drinks at night why don't you go elsewhere? I mean you can walk around or plan something different by yourself or with the gf- you don't HAVE to go along and I agree if these are FRIENDS you can ask them not to invite you any drink or anything...

All the best to you

thanks for all your kind replies

i will be back on the 14th

things are gonna get very very bad

i'm going to need some good friends

i'm not drinking and will not drink

i'm going to need to be strong in the months/years ahead

My thoughts go with you Jim.
See you when you get back.
