First Sober Vacation :)
It's officially 2 weeks sober now for me and we are at the beach for a couple days during my son's spring break. I just have to ask.. Does anyone else feel like vacations can be stressful??
There's always the bickering with the significant other...inevitably important things get forgotten....for instance....
We had a stressful 2-3 hour car ride...which was really longer because of unnecessary detours lol and trying to get grocerys for the trip...and of course...I FORGOT THE COFFEE...so we get out to Point Lookout in Scotland, MD, which is surrounded by nature and the ocean and is amazing BUT...20 miles to the nearest grocery store...so I'm driving and stopping at these little bait shops trying to find coffee desperately (for the morning) and all the places stopped had TONS of beer, liquor, and wine...but NO COFFEE...
I took a breath and said a prayer and FINALLY I found a shady lookin, run down place and they happened to have a bag of Dunkin Donuts Original Coffee hahaha....Boy did I want to give up and curl up with some red wine or liquor or BOTH haha...did I mention it's RAINING?? Oh well, a sober day on a rainy beach is better than a drunk day anywhere, am I right?
I am sipping on Ginger, Peach, Green Tea w/ matcha and trying to unwind.....u know....now that I got the coffee

Thanks All! It was a weird, but awesome feeling walking into a store full of booze and actually only be looking for coffee....AND I might add...quite ironic that all the other vacations...I would have been tracking down a store that had booze NOT coffee...
The liqour laws are different from what I'm used to as well..there's liquor everywhere! haha
