eab123,
there used to be a Scandanavian group that held meetings in Karon - not sure if its still going.
I try to catch a few meeting when I'm in Patong, it's always worth having a bit of extra support in case things get slippy.
I've never noticed any negative feedback from people when ordering non-alcoholic drinks in the bars, quite the opposite in fact. You occasionally get comments from other farangs but this happens at home also and isn't difficult to deflect - just part and parcel of staying sober 'one day at a time'.
Go and have a good holiday, its likely you'll find you enjoy yourself even better clean than when you were using. And the girls will certainly have a much better time.
Controlled drinking can work for certain people but the stakes are high and for some any relapse could prove to be their last.
It works if you work it.
