Bumping this ... because I don't know why.
I suppose I do - I'm at just over 4 months (again, was drinking the past couple years) and about to embark on at least 5 or 6 months working and traveling in Europe.
Anyone had experience being in foreign countries while sober? Not drinking the cheap/delicious wine over here is going to be terribly difficult. Pointers are welcome as without any friends/support groups/etc., it's a bit intimidating.
- I've also found drinking to be such a good way to quickly bond, the usual laundry list of "cons" are a bit more balanced by the "pros" now.colin_s

- your life then don't drink. But think of all the missed opportunities and why you're not drinking?zarkonite
- How bad can it be? Ive had an armed escort out of Mexico while sober. If I told you what happened while sober in Fiji, you'd start drinking. I keep my trips...lemmy_k
