Had a little bit of the same this morning. I mentioned in here that since I don't start work until Monday, I'd thought about heading out on a little road trip. My usual go to on trips of this length is Austin, where I lived for years. While my life was not centered around drinking in Austin, it was definitely a regular part of my life there. I decided a part of my desire to go there this weekend was thinking about those good times drinking there. It's one of the reasons I decided to just stick close to home this weekend.
On your work trip, there are AA meetings all over the world. Where I live now is one of the major centers of the American oil and gas industry and I've seen dozens and dozens of visitors at meetings who are just in town for a day or two and want to make a meeting.
