Sober vacation
I am on vacation in cancun right now and was dreading this trip early into the sober journey. I am 101 days sober today. I would usually be drunk the entire trip and would be sure to get my moneys worth with the all inclusive. I am here with my wife, a normal drinker, and she has been super supportive. I can't help but feel like I am on the outside with not drinking - I have had a few virgin piņa coladas in the spirit of a Mexican vacation. I have still had a lot of fun, but do miss the debauchery and comradery of drinkers at the pool bar. I guess I miss getting a little wild. But I am grateful at the same time to wake up with a clear head. Just some random thoughts as I sit on the beach watching the group next to me pour vodka drinks and clink glasses. There is no way I will drink tonight, but I do miss it today. Sober Recovery really helped In the dark/sad moments. It is good to know there are others out there and I am not alone.
