Send good vibes

Well, my number one trigger is present. Spending the weekend with limited internet on an island with no meetings. I will try to touch base here but any good vibes or thoughts will NOT go to waste...

Stress, leave me now!

I will not drink today.

You'll be fine sunrise - meetings are great but if you believe in a HP they'll still be there on the island...

I just learned about this yesterday, but apparently there are AA meetings recorded as podcasts that you can put on your iPod! If you have one, maybe that will help, just listening to one or two when you have some down time?

Hang in there, you've come too far to go back to the old you!!

Here's link I found after a quick search.

I don't know your reason for being on the island, but it could be nice! Is it peaceful? Maybe take a book, or do some prayer and meditation. Love in AA Pinetree

Yes, try looking at it from a good perspective, an opportunity to gain strength, for spiritual growth.

Hiking, prayer, meditation, spiritual readings, step work...find some peace.

A bit of AA advice I given early in my sobriety: "Don't forget to take your Higher Power with you." Little prayers throughout the weekend to stay connected.

This can be a very positive experience.

Keep in touch.

Wow, good vibes to you! Somehow, I'd give my eye teeth to be in your shoes - on an island.
