Thanks Ziebart & the Lord for the welcome.
No need to envy me. My 5x in a yr was due to the addiction. LOL
Anyway i manage to "cold turkey" myself for half a yr after the 4th trip.
I enjoy my recent trip and wont think it will be my last. Still having the withdrawal symptoms though.
As for whether is it safe to travel alone in AC, i will think it will depends.
Generally AC is safe. So far no major problem for me traveling alone there.
Just be more careful & alert since you are at other people place. Pick pockets, cheating and stuff may also happen at home.
Reading through the forum might help better prepare of what to expect. Links of AC map, information of hotels, bars are mostly there. Even links of youtude videos teaching what to ask when barfining. All these had help better understand AC.
Do some reading & planning & bring along with some adventurous spirit, you will enjoy AC. But of cse, always PLAY SAFE.
Cheers.
