Sitting at the airport struggling
 

hey Guys,
I at jakarta airport waiting to fly back to Sydney, this is my first o/s trip since I sober and I dying to go to the bar

Hey Marty...it boils down to how much your sobriety is worth to you. Think the first drink to the end and you will have your answer. Stay strong!

I trying i just get terrible anxiety in planes, I made it over here over, so I know I can make it home, Im just scared I suppose

Scared is ok...get thru this sober and you won't have to worry about the consequences of drinking.

thanks bugs, I have a meeting tomorrow night when I get back and I just trying to focus on that, I want to be proud that I made it

You are in charge of your sobriety...let nothing stand in your way of your goal. Keep your eye on the prize and you just might amaze yourself.

yes you are right, I smoking my butt off, drinking diet coke and reading Michael J Foxs book. I in the coffee shop not the bar!!!
Thanks I just needed to hear a sober voice.
Airports are hell for me

I understand I dislike flying myself...I dislike the chaos that drinking causes more. Good job on going to the coffee shop instead! One more hurdle jumped!!!

Yes the chaos of drinking, 1 is too many and 100 is not enough, I will get hope sober, thanks for your thoughts

My pleasure Marty! Have a safe trip and be proud of yourself!

Thank you, my battery about to die on the laptop so I will go. You have helped me immensely

This post is absolutely beautiful....it's also a direct example of how SR is my AA.

Marty, I'm the same way in airports. Nothing like airport beer....I don't care how expensive they are. Kudos to you for coming here. Awesome.

Bugs....I damn near cried. Thank you.

I like that quote- its me for sure. You hang in there man

Bugs-my hat off to you :)

Hey Marty want some face to face support next time you are in an air port struggling? Ask them to page a "friend of Bill's" to where you are at, I know more then one person who has done that at an airport and wound up meeting some fantastic folks in the fellowship.

BTW congrats on sticking to sobriety!!!! Every hurdle we clear makes us just a bit stronger when the next hurdle come into view!

Good Job Marty! Sometimes we are stronger than we realize!

I just now saw this & I commend you Marty for reaching out, & Bugs for your valuable words. As Jules said, SR in action - a beautiful thing.

Hey guys just home from a meeting feeling great, thanks for the tip Taz I will try that next time

i've heard this page at the airport - loved it!

good tip, taz!
