Suddenly I was in a bad mood. A really bad mood. Why can't I have a glass of wine like all the normal people? It's my honeymoon, why am I sipping diet coke through a strawer like a child? It's so boring in here without drinking. I don't like the food. I don't like this restaurant. Why has that man started singing? If I have one drink, I'll probably start enjoying the food and restaurant. I'll probably start to relax and have fun like the normal people. I'll probably even like the man singing. All I need is one drink.

Happy to say I didn't drink. Unhappy to say I picked a fight with my husband because I couldn't handle being around all the happy, normal drinkers last night. The battle last night with my AV was so exhausting, I needed to get back to the hotel and fall asleep.

Made up with my husband this morning, everything's fine and I'm so glad I didn't drink. Wish I could have stuck it out last night and had fun but it's still early days for me. Rome wasn't built in a day. It's going to take time.

8.35am in Italy. Good luck everyone. I had a close call yesterday but knowing that I'd checked in here, helped me fight my AV xx

You are not being forced not to drink sweetie, you are choosing not to drink because you know what a mess it will make of your life if you do. Sounds like you already pulled up your big girl panties this morning, enjoy the rest of your honeymoon and be proud of the fact you didn't give in.
