Bring your AA Book.
Call women from AA while you are on your trip.
Have the AA hotline telephone number with you.
Research meetings near where you will be staying.
Pray.
Make a list of what happens when you drink, write it down and bring it with you in case delusion sets in.
Stay in service to others. Find the person, or thing that needs your help. Stay in positive action.
Take lots of photographs.
Journal.
One more thing...
I just recently got back from my first sober vacation.
I called my sponsor from the trip because other people were drinking and it made me want to drink.
She said...
"I am sure it is not God's will for you to be drunk."
and
"I am sure you didn't go on a trip so you could get drunk and ruin it for yourself and others."
You get to do it differently.
You don't have to get drunk this time.
Be encouraged.
