California Love

Welp,

I am off to Cali to see my sister get married to a real real great guy. (navy man). I've never been to Cali so I know I am going to have a blast. I am 20 days sober now and it will be a tru test to see if I can fly back home to Texas and remain on track at day 24 on tuesday. My sister is prego and can't drink at her wedding so I will be staying close by her with a glass of diet coke and lime...

Thanks SR for all your support and replys thus far . I look to return being a sober man. I'll let you all know how it goes . Wish me well. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Stay sober my friends.

Peace

Dru -

Hope you have a good trip. The weather has been great here lately. Hell, the weather's always great out here.
It may be difficult being in the celebratory atmosphere of a wedding- check in here often. If cravings hit you, post here before you pick up the first drink. Good luck.

The app does work great! If you don't have it, it's 99 cent and SR is a tap away

Remember, your sobriety comes before everything! You have to protect your sobriety just as you would protect a baby!
