The next 10 days
My wife went to see her family in California for 10 days. Dropped her off this morning at the airport. Its a relief knowing I won't try to drink myself to death this time.
Not even having any thoughts really. I think I have been scared straight.

Even though you aren't having any thoughts about it and are feeling good right now, it never hurts to be prepared for if your resolve starts to slip, you start feeling down in the dumps, or you start with the dangerous "What if" mentality.
I have found that it is always dangerous to "wing it" no matter how good we are doing or how far into recovery we are. It wouldn't hurt to put some structure into the next 10 days, to make sure you have people to call if you need support, and just basically structure and set up a safe environment for yourself and for your recovery.
With that said, I am so happy you are feeling so good right now

Why should her being away matter? Don't let it matter to You, it may become a 'thing' for the AV, just dont let it matter to You.
You mentioned the other day a little pre reunion thing, when's the actual reunion?

You sound strong and committed to sobriety . I can't see your Mrs being away for a bit being the cause of anything silly . My Mrs went away every year with the females of the family and I always had a big job lined up like re-decorating a room , building some gates or something . This is strange , when I was drinking I would stop while she was away . Had 2 years sober before and never drank when she went away either .
Good luck

I know the feeling. My wife works a lot and we are on opposite shifts. I used to get wrecked sometimes.
I tend to crave now when left alone as well.
But, by the grace of God, my soberiety wins every time.
Roll the tape.

Re : reunion , I'm not big on them myself. Didn't see if you mentioned not going in another post. Was just wondering about the timing , hey cool the man cave just got extended to the whole house for almost two weeks! Plus you get to eat anywhere!(anytime!)
