Day 118.
Hi J9.
It is good that you raised it here, with the team that is on this journey with you. We have come a long way. I really know nothing about long term sobriety but I can give my 2 cents since you asked.

I would suggest that now, this dilemma you are feeling about what to do, is being driven by you still being a drunk. Like me. This is your AV. The money you spent on the trip is nothing compared to the 90 day sober achievement list you posted. That was such a wonderful testament to your achievement and not worth risking for anything.

The best idea might be to cancel such a risky trip
To agree with MrM, at the very least, tell your friend you don't drink now. Offer not not go. If she presses you to go and drink maybe just flat out and tell her your situation. If she is a friend she will be cool with it. Maybe even, in time, seeing how your life has turned around, she may feel she should consider something similar for herself.

Our January class is a little smaller now so we will selfishly fight to keep you on track, J9 !

My day yesterday was good. I have less scribbles this week Fingers crossed.

Have a wonderful, healthy and sober spring Friday, classmates. One more day.
