Can,

I would go for it.

You will be tempted, but you can do it.

I missed nothing and I made it this far.

You see I have had slips, but 1 shot and stopping for a year is still a win.

Suffering is the key. I saw drunks on my vacations, but I also saw sober folks.

Seeing drunks, when I was sober was a big deal in my recovery.

Seeing that slurring, loud, tired eyed, selfish manifestation of people is definitely motivation to never drink again.

The health benefits of vacationing are amazing. Eating, relaxing, and working out extra on vacations since I quit drinking bring me home more alive.

I used to come back looking like I got hit by a train.

Never again.

I vote don't cancel.

Not drinking was a huge deal though. My whole family drank during out trip to Cancun. Except me. The crave was there stronger than normal. I did drink a few virgin bloody marys and pinacoladas.

For me nw, the crave is there at every occasion because I used to get drunk at every occasion. I don't fear it, I expect it. I am proudly sober. I don't drink anymore.

Resisting hardened me.

Thanks.
