Just came from a presentation where I listened to Nigel Brennan, who had been held captive for over 400 days in Somalia talk about his harrowing ordeal.
This journey has not been horrendous, but it has been an escape from captivity of sorts.
Being away in a foreign country on a work conference, where alcohol has flowed freely, and it is MUCH harder to get a non-alcoholic drink, at times, than an alcoholic one has had it's challenges!
Things that have helped a lot are my daily reading of the daily reflection, daily prayer, listening to Joe and Charlie recordings, and Skypeing with my sponsor this week.
What was also of huge help was my non-drinking partner's presence - good on you Maria!! Having a person who was not interested in drink has made a huge difference.
I am very glad I took the time to really pump the meetings before I went away - often doing two a day - and that my headspace was sufficiently sorted before I went.
