I am on vacation right now with my BFF. I came out and told her I was in recovery and she is completely supportive. I found an AA meeting here and I am having a great time. No desire to drink whatsoever.
I shared about my worrying over vacations on another thread. The thing I did was make sure that I was open and honest with my friend. I told her I was worried about being triggered because she was the only person I drank with in the last few years and I happened to enjoy drinking with her >she is not an alcoholic it was just girls time<. I looked up AA meetings (she had gotten me a schedule
and of course I am still signing in SR daily.
Talk to you husband, have a plan of maintaining sobriety while on holidays and like Dee said, don't fall for the AVs nonsense that if you drink on vacation you can always start over. As alcoholics, every time we pick up a drink we play Russian roulette. Things might work out or we might relapse fully and maybe neveer make it back to recovery.
