I am going away for 2 weeks from tomorrow to Spain. We will be self catering so I am much more in control of the food I will be able to get akthough we will eat out as well. I know that holidays can mean being out of touch so I have planned to go to 2 OA meetings whilst I am there and also to keep in touch with my sponsor and OA friends by text/email and sending postcards. I know I have to remember to focus on abstinence and recovery rather than the weight or I start slipping into my disease and diet-head mode. MFP helps me to know what I am eating and when and I want to keep logging as much as possible whilst Im away
Any tips for staying abstinent whilst on holiday?

    Hi Julie, Sounds like you have planned well for the trip and your recovery. That would have been my tip for you, planning ahead - ideally the night before, writing down your meals and preparing for any restaurant meals with a few allowable choices.Take it one day a time and remember that though no matter what, you have already commited to your recovery and renewed health, so don't despair if you have a weak moment. Just reach out and stay calm. It will all be fine. Enjoy yourselves and be safe. :) x
