If I was to create a top-ten list of things newcomers do to sabotage their recovery, putting themselves in a situation where a lot of drinking is going on and where it's difficult to extricate themselves from the scene would be high on the list.
Vacation or sobriety. They don't have to be mutually exclusive, but the risks of drinking are high if you are around other drinkers. The decision is yours to make.
Good luck.
