My av won't shut the hell up today!!!! I just got to Florida this afternoon.... And all day drinking is sneaking into and out of my self conscious. I know that this is because going on vacation was all about drinking before so my body is a little confused as to why its 90 degrees I'm sitting in the sun and I don't have a drink in my hand. Tonight we are going out and my plan is to drink red bull and Im actually ok with that, it's wierd I don't feel like I'm having a craving necessarily , I just can't get the thoughts to stop!!!! I'm hoping this dosent ruin my whole trip

Good call on the red bull. When I drink "special" drinks that I don't normal have when I think about drinking it helps me a lot. You will do great. Just remember how much you love your sobriety.

...I need to follow my own advice too. Yesterday was tough on my sobriety and today is proving to be the same. I will make it through though!!!! I'm determined!!!!

Good luck Itsmytime. Squash that AV!!!!

I hope you enjoy your vacation.

Don't ruin your vacation by drinking; it won't be worth it in the long run.

I was on vacation in Florida during December. I felt the same exact way. I had to find an AA meeting to attend while I was there, after that I felt really good.

Try to stay in the moment and be aware of everything (the sun, sky, sand in your RedBull, lol).... Get some great seafood, buy a good book, shop for souvenirs....
Just embrace the moment - that's what vacations are all about! You know that drinking will just make you miserable. And remember that cravings do go away....
