Didn't do any drinking. But I avoided activities that normally involved alcohol for me. I skipped the bocci, snd evenings around the campfire. I stayed at our campsite and read a lot. Went on a couple hikes. And in the evenings, I went to bed early. If any of my wife's relatives thought I was being anti-social, tough. I'm looking out for me. And while it wasn't a great weekend, I proved to myself that I can do this!
