Hi Everyone, just checking in while I have internet access. I finished my work assignment on Saturday and have been on vacation since then. Still sober (ten weeks plus) and it hasn't been too bad at all. Of course, I am in a country where alcohol is barely existent---although it does exist---so the temptation is nil. Best part of it is that I can finally, for the first time in years, actually appreciate a vacation as a vacation and not a "work-free" week to get more loaded.
I never, never, thought I would be able to actually enjoy a vacation without copious amount of drinking involved but miracles never cease, I suppose
Still, can't wait to get back to my AA meetings as I did have the fleeting thought a few times of "Wow, I haven't thought about drinking in days...maybe it wasn't that bad?"
I know it was. And I never want to forget, either. This place and AA reminds me of that.
Anyway, just wanted to check in. Hope everyone is well and thanks for being here as always!
