Hi, Jaceel.

First, congrats on Day 10!

IMHO, this situation does not mean automatically that you are going to fail. But it's a quite a challenge, especially in early sobriety. I think that it won't hurt to make as many back-up plans to stay sober as you can. Does your boyfriend know that you quitted drinking?

Be ready that everyone is going to ask you why you are not drinking, and probably, talking you into having "one glass". Pick some non-alco drink that you are going to have all the time, so you glass is not empty. You may find some useful information here as well:

I wish you great sober vacations! Stay determined - you know that it's worth it.
